+=head1 NAME
+
+C<Math::Pari> - Perl interface to PARI.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Math::Pari;
+ $a = PARI 2;
+ print $a**10000;
+
+or
+
+ use Math::Pari qw(Mod);
+ $a = Mod(3,5);
+ print $a**10000;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This package is a Perl interface to famous library PARI for
+numerical/scientific/number-theoretic calculations. It allows use of
+most PARI functions as Perl functions, and (almost) seamless merging
+of PARI and Perl data. In what follows we suppose prior knowledge of
+what PARI is (see L<ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari>, or
+L<Math::libPARI>).
+
+=head1 EXPORTed functions
+
+=over 4
+
+=item DEFAULT
+
+By default the package exports functions PARI(), PARIcol(), PARIvar(),
+PARImat() and PARImat_tr() which convert their argument(s) to a
+PARI object. (In fact PARI() is just an alias for C<new Math::Pari>).
+The function PARI() accepts following data as its arguments
+
+=over 17
+
+=item One integer
+
+Is converted to a PARI integer.
+
+=item One float
+
+Is converted to a PARI float.
+
+=item One string
+
+Is executed as a PARI expresion (so should not contain whitespace).
+
+=item PARI object
+
+Is passed unchanged.
+
+=item Reference to a Perl array
+
+Each element is converted using the same rules, PARI vector-row with these
+elements is returned.
+
+=item Several of above
+
+The same as with a reference to array.
+
+=back
+
+=item Conflicts of rules in PARI()
+
+In deciding what rule of the above to apply the preference is given to
+the uppermost choice of those available I<now>. If none matches, then
+the string rule is used. So C<PARI(1)> returns integer, C<PARI(1.)>
+returns float, C<PARI("1")> evaluates C<1> as a PARI expression (well,
+the result is the same as C<PARI(1)>, only slower).
+
+Note that for Perl these data are synonimous, since Perl freely
+converts between integers, float and strings. However, to PARI() only
+what the argument I<is now> is important. If $v is C<1> in the Perl
+world, C<PARI($v)> may convert it to an integer, float, or to the
+result of evaluating the PARI program C<1> (all depending on how $v
+was created and accessed in Perl).
+
+This is a fundamental limitation of creating an interface between two
+systems, both with polymorphic objects, but with subtly different
+semantic of the flavors of these objects. In reality, however, this
+is rarely a problem.
+
+=item PARIcol(), PARImat() and PARImat_tr()
+
+PARIcol() behaves in the same way as PARI() unless given several
+arguments. In the latter case it returns a vector-column instead of
+a vector-row.
+
+PARImat() constructs a matrix out of the given arguments. It will work
+if PARI() will construct a vector of vectors given the same arguments.
+The internal vectors become columns of the matrix. PARImat_tr()
+behaves similarly, but the internal vectors become rows of the matrix.
+
+Since PARI matrices are similar to vector-rows of vector-columns,
+PARImat() is quickier, but PARImat_tr() better corresponds to the PARI
+input and output forms of matrices:
+
+ print PARImat [[1,2], [3,4]]; # prints [1,3;2,4]
+ print PARImat_tr [[1,2], [3,4]]; # prints [1,2;3,4]
+
+=item C<use> with arguments
+
+If arguments are specified in the C<use Math::Pari> directive, the
+PARI functions appearing as arguments are exported in the caller
+context. In this case the function PARI() and friends is not exported,
+so if you need them, you should include them into export list
+explicitely, or include C<:DEFAULT> tag:
+
+ use Math::Pari qw(factorint PARI);
+ use Math::Pari qw(:DEFAULT factorint);
+
+or simply do it in two steps
+
+ use Math::Pari;
+ use Math::Pari 'factorint';
+
+The other tags recognized are C<:PARI>, C<:all>, C<prec=NUMBER>,
+number tags (e.g., C<:4>), overloaded constants tags (C<:int>,
+C<:float>, C<:hex>) and section names tags. The number tags export
+functions from the PARI library from the given class (except for
+C<:PARI>, which exports all of the classes). Tag C<:all> exports all of the
+exportable symbols and C<:PARI>.
+
+Giving C<?> command to C<gp> (B<PARI> calculator) lists the following classes:
+
+ 1: Standard monadic or dyadic OPERATORS
+ 2: CONVERSIONS and similar elementary functions
+ 3: TRANSCENDENTAL functions
+ 4: NUMBER THEORETICAL functions
+ 5: Functions related to ELLIPTIC CURVES
+ 6: Functions related to general NUMBER FIELDS
+ 7: POLYNOMIALS and power series
+ 8: Vectors, matrices, LINEAR ALGEBRA and sets
+ 9: SUMS, products, integrals and similar functions
+ 10: GRAPHIC functions
+ 11: PROGRAMMING under GP
+
+One can use section names instead of number tags. Recognized names are
+
+ :standard :conversions :transcendental :number :elliptic
+ :fields :polynomials :vectors :sums :graphic :programming
+
+One can get the list of all of the functions accessible by C<Math::Pari>,
+or the accessible functions from the given section using listPari() function.
+
+Starting from version 5.005 of Perl, three constant-overload tags are
+supported: C<:int>, C<:float>, C<:hex>. If used, all the
+integer/float/hex-or-octal-or-binary literals in Perl will be automatically
+converted to became PARI objects. For example,
+
+ use Math::Pari ':int';
+ print 2**1000;
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ print PARI(2)**PARI(1000);
+
+(The support for this Perl feature is buggy before the Perl version 5.005_57 -
+unless Perl uses mymalloc options; you can check for this with C<perl
+-V:usemymalloc>.) Note also that (at least with some versions of Perl)
+one should enable C<':float'> for conversion of long integer literals
+(I<Perl> may consider them as floats, since they won't fit into Perl
+integers); note that it is PARI which determines which PARI subtype is
+assigned to each such literal:
+
+ use Math::Pari ':float', 'type_name';
+ print type_name 22222222222222222222222;
+
+prints C<t_INT>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 Available functions
+
+=head2 Directly accessible from Perl
+
+This package supports I<all> the functions from the PARI library with
+a I<signature> which can be recognized by Math::Pari. This means that
+when you update the PARI library, the newly added functions will we
+available without any change to this package; only a recompile is
+needed. In fact no recompile will be needed if you link libPARI
+dynamically (you need to modify the F<Makefile> manually to do
+this).
+
+You can "reach" unsupported functions via going directly to PARI
+parser using the string flavor of PARI() function, as in
+
+ 3 + PARI('O(x^17)');
+
+For some "unreachable" functions there is a special wrapper functions,
+such as C<O(variable,power)>).
+
+The following functions are specific to GP calculator, thus are not
+available to Math::Pari in any way:
+
+ default error extern input print print1 printp printp1
+ printtex quit read system whatnow write write1 writetex
+
+whatnow() function is useless, since Math::Pari does not support the
+"compatibility" mode (with older PARI library). The functionality of
+print(), write() and variants is available via automatic string
+translation, and pari_print() function and its variants (see L<Printout functions>).
+
+default() is the only important function with functionality not
+supported by the current interface. Note however, that three most
+important default() actions are supported by allocatemem(),
+setprimelimit(), setprecision() and setseriesprecision() functions.
+(When called without arguments, these functions return the current
+values.)
+
+allocatemem($bytes) should not be called from inside Math::Pari
+functions (such as forprimes()).
+
+=head2 Arguments
+
+Arguments to PARI functions are automatically converted to C<long> or
+a PARI object depending on the signature of the actual library function.
+The arguments are I<forced> into the given type, so even if C<gp>
+rejects your code similar to
+
+ func(2.5); # func() takes a long in C
+
+arguing that a particular argument should be of C<type T_INT> (i.e., a
+Pari integer), the corresponding code will work in C<Math::Pari>,
+since 2.5 is silently converted to C<long>, per the function
+signature.
+
+=head2 Return values
+
+PARI functions return a PARI object or a Perl's integer depending on
+what the actual library function returns.
+
+=head2 Additional functions
+
+Some PARI functions are available in C<gp> (i.e., in C<PARI>
+calculator) via infix notation only. In C<Math::Pari> these functions
+are available in functional notations too. Some other convenience
+functions are also made available.
+
+=over 5
+
+=item Infix, prefix and postfix operations
+
+are available under names
+
+ gneg, gadd, gsub, gmul, gdiv, gdivent, gmod, gpui,
+ gle, gge, glt, ggt, geq, gne, gegal, gor, gand,
+ gcmp, gcmp0, gcmp1, gcmp_1.
+
+C<gdivent> means euclidean quotient, C<gpui> is power, C<gegal> checks
+whether two objects are equal, C<gcmp> is applicable to two real
+numbers only, C<gcmp0>, C<gcmp1>, C<gcmp_1> compare with 0, 1 and -1
+correspondingly (see PARI user manual for details, or
+L<Math::libPARI>). Note that all these functions are more readily
+available via operator overloading, so instead of
+
+ gadd(gneg($x), $y)
+
+one can write
+
+ -$x+$y
+
+(as far as overloading may be triggered, see L<overload>, so we assume
+that at least one of $x or $y is a PARI object).
+
+=item Conversion functions
+
+ pari2iv, pari2nv, pari2num, pari2pv, pari2bool
+
+convert a PARI object to an integer, float, integer/float (whatever is
+better), string, and a boolean value correspondingly. Most the time
+you do not need these functions due to automatic conversions.
+
+=item Printout functions
+
+ pari_print, pari_pprint, pari_texprint
+
+perform the same conversions to strings as their PARI counterparts,
+but do not print the result. The difference of pari_print() with
+pari2pv() is the number of significant digits they output, and
+whitespace in the output. pari2pv(), which is intended for
+"computer-readable strings", outputs as many digits as is supported by
+the current precision of the number; while pari_print(), which targets
+human-readable strings, takes into account the currently specified
+output precision too.
+
+=item Constant functions
+
+Some mathematical constants appear as function without arguments in
+PARI. These functions are available in Math::Pari too. If you export
+them as in
+
+ use Math::Pari qw(:DEFAULT Pi I Euler);
+
+they can be used as barewords in your program:
+
+ $x = Pi ** Euler;
+
+=item Low-level functions
+
+For convenience of low-level PARI programmers some low-level functions
+are made available as well (all except type_name() and changevalue()
+are not exportable):
+
+ typ($x)
+ lg($x)
+ lgef($x)
+ lgefint($x)
+ longword($x, $n)
+ type_name($x)
+ changevalue($name,$newvalue)
+
+Here longword($x,$n) returns C<$n>-th word in the memory
+representation of $x (including non-code words). type_name() differs
+from the PARI function type(): type() returns a PARI object, while
+type_name() returns a Perl string. (PARI objects of string type
+behave very non-intuitive w.r.t. string comparison functions; remember
+that they are compared using lex() to I<the results of evaluation> of
+other argument of comparison!)
+
+The function listPari($number) outputs a list of names of PARI
+functions in the section $number. Use listPari(-1) to get the list
+across all of the sections.
+
+=item Uncompatible functions
+
+ O
+
+Since implementing C<O(7**6)> would be very tedious, we provide a
+two-argument form C<O(7,6)> instead (meaning the same as C<O(7^6)> in
+PARI). Note that with polynomials there is no problem like this one,
+both C<O($x,6)> and C<O($x**6)> work.
+
+ ifact(n)
+
+integer factorial functions, available from C<gp> as C<n!>.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Looping functions
+
+PARI has a big collection of functions which loops over some set.
+Such a function takes two I<special> arguments: loop variable, and the
+code to execute in the loop.
+
+The code can be either a string (which contains PARI code to execute -
+thus should not contain whitespace), or a Perl code reference. The
+loop variable can be a string giving the name of PARI variable (as in
+
+ fordiv(28, 'j', 'a=a+j+j^2');
+
+or
+
+ $j= 'j';
+ fordiv(28, $j, 'a=a+j+j^2');
+
+), a PARI monomial (as in
+
+ $j = PARI 'j';
+ fordiv(28, $j, sub { $a += $j + $j**2 });
+
+), or a "delayed Math::Pari variable" (as in
+
+ $j = PARIvar 'j';
+ fordiv(28, $j, 'a=a+j+j^2');
+
+). If none of these applies, as in
+
+ my $j; # Have this in a separate statement
+ fordiv(28, $j, sub { $a += $j + $j**2 });
+
+then during the execution of the C<sub>, Math::Pari would autogenerate
+a PARI variable, and would put its value in $j; this value of $j is
+temporary only, the old contents of $j is restored when fordiv() returns.
+
+Note that since you have no control over this name, you will not be
+able to use this variable from your PARI code; e.g.,
+
+ $j = 7.8;
+ fordiv(28, $j, 'a=a+j+j^2');
+
+will not make C<j> mirror $j (unless you explicitely set up C<j> to be
+a no-argument PARI function mirroring $j, see L<"Accessing Perl functions from PARI code">).
+
+B<Caveats>. There are 2 flavors of the "code" arguments
+(string/C<sub>), and 4 types of the "variable" arguments
+(string/monomial/C<PARIvar>/other). However, not all 8 combinations
+make sense. As we already explained, an "other" variable cannot work
+with a "string" code.
+
+B<Useless musing alert! Do not read the rest of this section!> Do not
+use "string" variables with C<sub> code, and do not ask I<why>!
+
+Additionally, the following code will not do what you expect
+
+ $x = 0;
+ $j = PARI 'j';
+ fordiv(28, 'j', sub { $x += $j } ); # Use $j as a loop variable!
+
+since the PARI function C<fordiv> I<localizes> the PARI variable C<j>
+inside the loop, but $j will still reference the old value; the old
+value is a monomial, not the index of the loop (which is an integer
+each time C<sub> is called). The simplest workaround is not to use
+the above syntax (i.e., not mixing literal loop variable with Perl
+loop code, just using $j as the second argument to C<fordiv> is
+enough):
+
+ $x = 0;
+ $j = PARI 'j';
+ fordiv(28, $j, sub { $x += $j } );
+
+Alternately, one can make a I<delayed> variable $j which will always
+reference the same thing C<j> references in PARI I<now> by using
+C<PARIvar> constructor
+
+ $x = 0;
+ $j = PARIvar 'j';
+ fordiv(28, 'j', sub { $x += $j } );
+
+(This problem is similar to
+
+ $ref = \$_; # $$ref is going to be old value even after
+ # localizing $_ in Perl's grep/map
+
+not accessing localized values of $_ in the plain Perl.)
+
+Another possible quirk is that
+
+ fordiv(28, my $j, sub { $a += $j + $j**2 });
+
+will not work too - by a different reason. C<my> declarations change
+the I<meaning> of $j only I<after> the end of the current statement;
+thus $j inside C<sub> will access a I<different> variable $j
+(typically a non-lexical, global variable $j) than one you declared on this line.
+
+=head2 Accessing Perl functions from PARI code
+
+Use the same name inside PARI code:
+
+ sub counter { $i += shift; }
+ $i = 145;
+ PARI 'k=5' ;
+ fordiv(28, 'j', 'k=k+counter(j)');
+ print PARI('k'), "\n";
+
+prints
+
+ 984
+
+Due to a difference in the semantic of
+variable-number-of-parameters-functions between PARI and Perl, if the
+Perl subroutine takes a variable number of arguments (via C<@> in the
+prototype or a missing prototype), up to 6 arguments are supported
+when this function is called from PARI. If called from PARI with
+fewer arguments, the rest of arguments will be set to be integers C<PARI 0>.
+
+Note also that no direct import of Perl variables is available yet
+(but you can write a function wrapper for this):
+
+ sub getv () {$v}
+
+There is an unsupported (and undocumented ;-) function for explicitely
+importing Perl functions into PARI, possibly with a different name,
+and possibly with explicitely specifying number of arguments.
+
+=head1 PARI objects
+
+Functions from PARI library may take as arguments and/or return values
+the objects of C type C<GEN>. In Perl these data are encapsulated into
+special kind of Perl variables: PARI objects. You can check for a
+variable C<$obj> to be a PARI object using
+
+ ref $obj and $obj->isa('Math::Pari');
+
+Most the time you do not need this due to automatic conversions and overloading.
+
+=head1 PARI monomials and Perl barewords
+
+If very lazy, one can code in Perl the same way one does it in PARI.
+Variables in PARI are denoted by barewords, as in C<x>, and in the
+default configuration (no warnings, no strict) Perl allows the same -
+up to some extent. Do not do this, since there are many surprising problems.
+
+Some bareletters denote Perl operators, like C<q>, C<x>, C<y>,
+C<s>. This can lead to errors in Perl parsing your expression. E.g.,
+
+ print sin(tan(t))-tan(sin(t))-asin(atan(t))+atan(asin(t));
+
+may parse OK after C<use Math::Pari qw(sin tan asin atan)>. Why?
+
+After importing, the word C<sin> will denote the PARI function sin(),
+not Perl operator sin(). The difference is subtle: the PARI function
+I<implicitly> forces its arguments to be converted PARI objects; it
+gets C<'t'> as the argument, which is a string, thus is converted to
+what C<t> denotes in PARI - a monomial. While the Perl operator sin()
+grants overloading (i.e., it will call PARI function sin() if the
+argument is a PARI object), it does not I<force> its argument; given
+C<'t'> as argument, it converts it to what sin() understands, a float
+(producing C<0.>), so will give C<0.> as the answer.
+
+However
+
+ print sin(tan(y))-tan(sin(y))-asin(atan(y))+atan(asin(y));
+
+would not compile. You should avoid lower-case barewords used as PARI
+variables, e.g., do
+
+ $y = PARI 'y';
+ print sin(tan($y))-tan(sin($y))-asin(atan($y))+atan(asin($y));
+
+to get
+
+ -1/18*y^9+26/4725*y^11-41/1296*y^13+328721/16372125*y^15+O(y^16)
+
+(BTW, it is a very good exercise to get the leading term by hand).
+
+Well, the same advice again: do not use barewords anywhere in your program!
+
+=head1 Overloading and automatic conversion
+
+Whenever an arithmetic operation includes at least one PARI object,
+the other arguments are converted to a PARI object and the corresponding
+PARI library functions is used to implement the operation. Currently
+the following arithmetic operations are overloaded:
+
+ unary -
+ + - * / % ** abs cos sin exp log sqrt
+ << >>
+ <= == => < > != <=>
+ le eq ge lt gt ne cmp
+ | & ^ ~
+
+Numeric comparison operations are converted to C<gcmp> and friends, string
+comparisons compare in lexicographical order using C<lex>.
+
+Additionally, whenever a PARI object appears in a situation that requires integer,
+numeric, boolean or string data, it is converted to the corresponding
+type. Boolean conversion is subject to usual PARI pitfalls related to
+imprecise zeros (see documentation of C<gcmp0> in PARI reference).
+
+For details on overloading, see L<overload>.
+
+Note that a check for equality is subject to same pitfalls as in PARI
+due to imprecise values. PARI may also refuse to compare data of
+different types for equality if it thinks this may lead to
+counterintuitive results.
+
+Note also that in PARI the numeric ordering is not defined for some
+types of PARI objects. For string comparison operations we use
+PARI-lexicographical ordering.
+
+=head1 PREREQUISITES
+
+=head2 Perl
+
+In the versions of perl earlier than 5.003 overloading used a
+different interface, so you may need to convert C<use overload> line
+to C<%OVERLOAD>, or, better, upgrade.
+
+=head2 PARI
+
+Starting from version 2.0, this module comes without a PARI library included.
+
+For the source of PARI library see
+L<ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari>.
+
+=head1 Perl vs. PARI: different syntax
+
+Note that the PARI notations should be used in the string arguments to
+PARI() function, while the Perl notations should be used otherwise.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<^>
+
+Power is denoted by C<**> in Perl.
+
+=item C<\> and C<\/>
+
+There are no such operators in Perl, use the word forms
+C<gdivent(x,y)> and C<gdivround(x,y)> instead.
+
+=item C<~>
+
+There is no postfix C<~> Perl operator. Use mattranspose() instead.
+
+=item C<'>
+
+There is no postfix C<'> Perl operator. Use deriv() instead.
+
+=item C<!>
+
+There is no postfix C<!> Perl operator. Use factorial()/ifact() instead
+(returning a real or an integer correspondingly).
+
+=item big integers
+
+Perl converts big I<literal> integers to doubles if they could not be
+put into B<C> integers (the particular flavor can be found in the
+output of C<perl -V> in newer version of Perl, look for
+C<ivtype>/C<ivsize>). If you want to input such an integer, use
+
+ while ($x < PARI('12345678901234567890')) ...
+
+instead of
+
+ while ($x < 12345678901234567890) ...
+
+Why? Because conversion to double leads to precision loss (typically
+above 1e15, see L<perlnumber>), and you will get something like
+12345678901234567168 otherwise.
+
+Starting from version 5.005 of Perl, if the tag C<:int> is used on the
+'use Math::Pari' line, all of the integer literals in Perl will be
+automatically converted to became PARI objects. E.g.,
+
+ use Math::Pari ':int';
+ print 2**1000;
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ print PARI(2)**PARI(1000);
+
+Similarly, large integer literals do not lose precision.
+
+This directive is lexically scoped. There is a similar tag C<:hex>
+which affects hexadecimal, octal and binary constants. One may
+also need to use tag C<:float> for auto-conversion of large integer literals
+which Perl considers as floating point literals (see L<C<use> with arguments>
+for details).
+
+=item doubles
+
+Doubles in Perl are typically of precision approximately 15 digits
+(see L<perlnumber>). When you use them as arguments to PARI
+functions, they are converted to PARI real variables, and due to
+intermediate 15-digits-to-binary conversion of Perl variables the
+result may be different than with the PARI many-digits-to-binary
+conversion. E.g., C<PARI(0.01)> and C<PARI('0.01')> differ at 19-th
+place, as
+
+ setprecision(38);
+ print pari_print(0.01), "\n",
+ pari_print('0.01'), "\n";
+
+shows.
+
+Note that setprecision() changes the output format of pari_print() and
+friends, as well as the default internal precision. The generic
+PARI===>string conversion does not take into account the output
+format, thus
+
+ setprecision(38);
+ print PARI(0.01), "\n",
+ PARI('0.01'), "\n",
+ pari_print(0.01), "\n";
+
+will print all the lines with different number of digits after the
+point: the first one with 22, since the double 0.01 was converted to a
+low-precision PARI object, the second one with 41, since internal form
+for precision 38 requires that many digits for representation, and the
+last one with 39 to have 38 significant digits.
+
+Starting from version 5.005 of Perl, if the tag C<:float> is used on
+the C<use Math::Pari> line, all the float literals in Perl will be
+automatically converted to became PARI objects. E.g.,
+
+ use Math::Pari ':float';
+ print atan(1.);
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ print atan(PARI('1.'));
+
+Similarly, large float literals do not lose precision.
+
+This directive is lexically scoped.

+Arrays are 1-based in PARI, are 0-based in Perl. So while array
+access is possible in Perl, you need to use different indices:
+
+ $nf = PARI 'nf'; # assume that PARI variable nf contains a number field
+ $a = PARI('nf[7]');
+ $b = $nf->[6];
+
+Now $a and $b contain the same value.
+
+=item matrices
+
+Note that C<PARImat([[...],...,[...])> constructor creates a matrix
+with specified columns, while in PARI the command C<[1,2,3;4,5,6]>
+creates a matrix with specified rows. Use a convenience function
+PARImat_tr() which will transpose a matrix created by PARImat() to use
+the same order of elements as in PARI.
+
+=item builtin perl functions
+
+Some PARI functions, like C<length> and C<eval>, are Perl
+(semi-)reserved words. To reach these functions, one should either
+import them:
+
+ use Math::Pari qw(length eval);
+
+or call them with prefix (like C<&length>) or the full name (like
+C<Math::Pari::length>).
+

+
+=head1 High-resolution graphics
+
+If you have Term::Gnuplot Perl module installed, you may use high-resolution
+graphic primitives of B<PARI>. Before the usage you need to establish
+a link between Math::Pari and Term::Gnuplot by calling link_gnuplot().
+You can change the output filehandle by calling set_plot_fh(), and
+output terminal by calling plotterm(), as in
+
+ use Math::Pari qw(:graphic asin);
+
+ open FH, '>out.tex' or die;
+ link_gnuplot(); # automatically loads Term::Gnuplot
+ set_plot_fh(\*FH);
+ plotterm('emtex');
+ ploth($x, .5, .999, sub {asin $x});
+ close FH or die;
+
+=head1 libPARI documentation
+
+libPARI documentation is included, see L<Math::libPARI>. It is converted
+from Chapter 3 of B<PARI/GP> documentation by the F<gphelp> script of GP/PARI.
+

+=over 5
+
+=item *
+
+A few of PARI functions are available indirectly only.
+
+=item *
+
+Using overloading constants with the Perl versions below 5.005_57 could lead to
+segfaults (at least without C<-D usemymalloc>), as in:
+
+ use Math::Pari ':int';
+ for ( $i = 0; $i < 10 ; $i++ ) { print "$i\n" }
+
+=item *
+
+It may be possible that conversion of a Perl value which has both the
+integer slot and the floating slot set may create a PARI integer, even
+if the actual value is not an integer.
+
+=item *
+
+problems with refcounting of array elements and Mod().
+
+Workaround: make the modulus live longer than the result of Mod().
+Until Perl version C<5.6.1>, one should exercise a special care so
+that the modulus goes out of scope on a different statement than the
+result:
+
+ { my $modulus = 125;
+ { my $res = Mod(34, $modulus);
+ print $res;
+ }
+ $fake = 1; # A (fake) statement here is required
+ }
+
+Here $res is destructed before the C<$fake = 1> statement, $modulus is
+destructed before the first statement after the provided block.
+However, if you remove the C<$fake = 1> statement, both these
+variables are destructed on the first statement after the provided
+block (and in a wrong order!).
+
+In C<5.6.1> declaring $modulus before $res is all that is needed to
+circumvent the same problem:
+
+ { my $modulus = 125;
+ my $res = Mod(34, $modulus);
+ print $res;
+ } # destruction will happen in a correct order.
+
+Access to array elements may result in similar problems. Hard to fix
+since in PARI the data is not refcounted.
+
+=item *
+
+Legacy implementations of dynalinking require the code of DLL to be
+compiled to be "position independent" code (PIC). This slows down the
+execution, while allowing sharing the loaded copy of the DLL between
+different processes. [On contemeporary architectures the same effect
+is allowed without the position-independent hack.]
+
+Currently, PARI assembler files are not position-independent. When
+compiled for the dynamic linking on legacy systems, this creates a DLL
+which cannot be shared between processes. Some legacy systems are
+reported to recognize this situation, and load the DLL as a non-shared
+module. However, there may be systems (are there?) on which this can
+cause some "problems".
+
+Summary: if the dynaloading on your system requires some kind of C<-fPIC> flag, using "assembler" compiles (anything but C<machine=none>) *may* force you to do a static build (i.e., creation of a custom Perl executable with
+
+ perl Makefile.PL static
+ make perl
+ make test_static
+
+).
+
+=back
+
+=head1 INITIALIZATION
+
+When Math::Pari is loaded, it examines variables $Math::Pari::initmem
+and $Math::Pari::initprimes. They specify up to which number the
+initial list of primes should be precalculated, and how large should
+be the arena for PARI calculations (in bytes). (These values have
+safe defaults.)
+
+Since setting these values before loading requires either a C<BEGIN>
+block, or postponing the loading (C<use> vs. C<require>), it may be
+more convenient to set them via Math::PariInit:
+
+ use Math::PariInit qw( primes=12000000 stack=1e8 );
+
+C<use Math::PariInit> also accepts arbitrary Math::Pari import directives,
+see L<Math::PariInit>.
+
+These values may be changed at runtime too, via allocatemem() and
+setprimelimit(), with performance penalties for recalculation/reallocation.
