Re: Replcing Math::GMP with Math::BigInt

What made you think you could replace Math::GMP with Math::BigInt? And what is GMP::BigInt? Do you mean Math::BigInt::GMP?

Also, I assume you are still using cygwin. If you use ActiveState perl instead, you might be able to install binaries for the modules (via ppm, which won't work for cygwin), instead of compiling source yourself.

I made the suggestion based on the Math::GMP docs and a very deep thread associated with an inability to compile Net::SSH::Perl secondary to being unable to compile Math::GMP. `DESCRIPTION Math::GMP was designed to be a drop-in replacement both for Math::BigI +nt and for regular integer arithmetic.` [download] cheers tachyon	[reply] [d/l]

I could not install Math::GMP via ppm. These are the steps I followed c:\perl\bin> ppm ppm> install <http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/Math-GMP.ppd> I got an error at the end. </tr> </table> <!-- image audit code --> <script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"> <!-- now = new Date(); tail = now.getTime(); document.write("<IMG SRC='http://images-aud.sourceforge.net/pc.gif?l," +); document.write(tail); document.write("' WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1 BORDER=0>"); //--> <noscript> <img src="http://images-aud.sourceforge.net/pc.gif?l,390086" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1 BORDER=0> </noscript> <!-- end audit code --> <!-- end OSDN Footer --> </BODY></HTML></HTML> at C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/PPD.pm line 177, <$__ANO +NIO__> line 4.
