Math::GMP is designed to be a drop-in replacement both for Math::BigInt
|
||
|
|
and for regular integer arithmetic. Unlike BigInt, though, Math::GMP
|
||
|
|
uses the GNU gmp library for all of its calculations, as opposed
|
||
|
|
to straight Perl functions. This results in a speed increase of
|
||
|
|
anywhere from 5 to 30 times.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A Math::GMP object can be used just as a normal numeric scalar would
|
||
|
|
be -- the module overloads the normal arithmetic operators to provide
|
||
|
|
as seamless an interface as possible.
