SRPM URL:

Description:

Provides support for big integer calculations via means of the GMP C-library.

Math::BigInt::GMP provides its own XS layer to access the GMP C-library rather
than using Math::GMP as an intermediate layer, an approach that reduces the
memory footprint compared with the old approach used in earlier versions of
Math::BigInt.

This package is needed to provide GMP support for Math::BigInt-using packages
(such as perl-Crypt-DSA and perl-Crypt-DH) in Fedora 9 onwards, where the
Math::BigInt implementation has changed and no longer uses the existing
Math::GMP module.
