Math/BigInt/FastCalc ==================== This is a replacement library for Math::BigInt::Calc that reimplements some of the Calc functions in XS. It can be used via: use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc'; This is always safe to use, since: * FastCalc is always faster than Calc, or equal in speed, it will be never slower * if FastCalc is not installed, Math::BigInt will automatically use Calc. Of course, it also works with Math::BigFloat use Math::BigFloat lib => 'FastCalc'; or even Math::BigRat: use Math::BigRat lib => 'FastCalc'; Please have fun!
