in reply to Re: Replcing Math::GMP with Math::BigInt
in thread Replcing Math::GMP with Math::BigInt

There are some other functions such as

Math::BigInt::mul_2exp_gmp, Math::BigInt::powm_gmp etc

What do I do for these functions?

First I tried to install Math::GMP with PPM.

But I could not do it on windows system.

So I switched to cygwin

Thanks and Regards

    Depending on whether you have 5.8 or 5.6 run one of these commands. When you get the prompt to install the DLL install it somewhere in your path.

      This works fine!

      Thank you very much

      Could you please tell me the site to install 'Net::SSH::Perl' module via ppm.

      Thanks
