Math::Pari v2.001103 released


Math::Pari is the Perl module for an interface to PARI.

v2.001103 was released yesterday, and started to propagate to CPAN
sites around the world.

Today I did

      perl -MCPAN -e shell

      CPAN> i /Pari/

(it had shown that the above version is available on the CPAN server I
was using)

      CPAN> test Math::Pari

(a lot of activities: downloaded Math::Pari, asked me whether I want
to download PARI, downloaded v2.0.11, patched it, built the module,
run the tests).

Now you can do

      CPAN> test Math::Pari

to have it globally available.

   perldoc Math::Pari

and

   perldoc Math::libPARI

(or whatever you like to see Perl documentation: man pages, PDF, HTML,
LaTeX) will show the documentation.

Here are the results of the tests:

t/Pari..............ok
t/PlotRect..........# Can't locate Term/Gnuplot.pm in @INC, ignoring the test
skipping test on this platform
t/all...............# Can't locate Term/Gnuplot.pm in @INC, ignoring plotting
PARI:   ***   Warning: insufficient precision for fundamental units, not given.
ok
t/analyz............ok
t/elliptic..........ok
t/graph.............# Can't locate Term/Gnuplot.pm in @INC, ignoring plotting
ok
t/linear............ok
t/nfields...........PARI:   ***   Warning: insufficient precision for fundamental units, not given.
ok
t/number............ok
t/objets............ok
t/ploth.............# Can't locate Term/Gnuplot.pm in @INC, ignoring plotting
ok
t/polyser...........ok
t/program...........ok
t/sumiter...........ok
t/trans.............ok
All tests successful.
Files=15,  Tests=1377, 91 secs (80.35 cusr  2.93 csys = 83.28 cpu)

This is on Solaris (similarly on OS/2), on other platforms I would
expect a lot of problems due to absense of -KPIC on assembler commands.

Enjoy,
Ilya
