in reply to Perl 5.10 and Math::Pari

Are there alternatives to the Math::Pari module that can be dropped in to replace it from the perspective of the other Crypt modules?

If there are alternatives then they should be mentioned in the documentation of the modules.

Precisely which modules are these "other Crypt modules" ?

Cheers,
Rob

    I've updated the main post to reflect a few of the modules with a Math::Pari dependency.

      Couldn't spot any evidence that Crypt::DSA needs Math::Pari. But it certainly looks like the others that you've specified do.

        Crypt::DSA requires Math::BigInt, which requires Math::BigInt::Pari, which requires Math::Pari. Doh, scratch that, Limbic~Region is right.
