This package is a Perl interface to famous library PARI for
numerical/scientific/number-theoretic calculations. It allows use of
most PARI functions as Perl functions, and (almost) seamless merging of
PARI and Perl data. In what follows we suppose prior knowledge of what
PARI is (see <ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari>, or
Math::libPARI).

The PARI system is a package which is capable of doing formal
computations on recursive types at high speed; it is primarily
aimed at number theorists, but can be used by anybody whose primary
need is speed.
It is possible to use PARI in two different ways:
1) as a library, which can be called from an upper-level language
application (for instance written in C, C++, Pascal or Fortran);
2) as a sophisticated programmable calculator, named gp, which
contains most of the control instructions of a standard language
like C.

-> nikto as at least nessus relies on this (and is not patchable in
this regard due to crytpographically signed code)

Sort::Versions allows easy sorting of mixed non-numeric and numeric strings,
like the 'version numbers' that many shared library systems and revision
control packages use. This is quite useful if you are trying to deal with
shared libraries. It can also be applied to applications that intersperse
variable-width numeric fields within text. Other applications can
undoubtedly be found.
