Rewrite project of Math::Big* (C) Copyright ..--- ----- ----- .---- - ..--- by - . .-.. ... .-.-.- Contains new version of Math::BigInt and Math::bigFloat, so please do NOT make 'make install', except when you do no longer want your old Math::BigInt or know what you are doing. This rewritten version is mainly compatible, minus some bugfixes, and more feature and more speed. To test, unzip & untar package, then run perl Makefile.PL make make test make install # as root These modules should be installed automatically into the Perl core, and not into site-perl. You can check whether you get the old or new versions by doing this: perl -MMath::BigInt -e'print "v".$Math::BigInt::VERSION,"\n";' If it prints undef or v0.01 you still got the old version. Delete the files from the Perl core installation path manually, and make sure that you delete all old versions, then try again to print the version from above. For a quick reference on what has changed from the old versions, please see CHANGES. HISTORY brings you a detailed history log of the rewrite. In ./examples are some basic example scripts. More information including HTMLified help and benchmark results are available under: http://bloodgate.com/perl/ Please send me test-reports, your experiences with this and your ideas - I love to hear about my work!
