| The GMP aribitrary precision arithmetic library includes a "GMP"
module, providing a perl interface to the library. GMP version 4.1.3
contains a new version 2.00 of this interface.
This version adds support for scalar magic on inputs, tightens up
conversion of inputs with combinations of IV, NV and PV values, and
addresses problems with substrings in perl 5.8.2 and initializers in
MINGW.
It should be noted the GMP module is not the same as Math::BigInt, but
is instead designed as a friendly low-overhead native interface to the
library. Operator overloading, optional big constants, and access to
the full set of library operations is provided.
The GMP distribution is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.1.3.tar.gz
or
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.1.3.tar.bz2
A great many sites around the world mirror ftp.gnu.org, please use one
near you. See http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for a full list.

comments to bug-gmp@gnu.org.
