| PackageDescription | Math::BigInt::FastCalc inherits from Math::BigInt::Calc.
Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used by
other modules. Other modules which sport the same functions can also be
used to support Math::BigInt, like Math::BigInt::GMP or Math::BigInt::Pari.
In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module which
follows the same API as this can be used instead by using the following:
use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';
'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the short
version like 'Pari'. To use this library:
use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';
The default behaviour is to chose the best internal representation of big
integers, but the base length used in the internal representation can be
specified explicitly. Note that this must be done before Math::BigInt is
loaded. For example,
use Math::BigInt::FastCalc base_len => 3;
use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc'; |
