Math::GSL

Math::GSL is a Perl interface to the GNU Scientific Library, using SWIG. The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License. Math::GSL uses SWIG to generate Perl bindings to most GSL functionality.

Dependencies

Currently Math::GSL requires at least Perl 5.8.1 to compile.

Library dependencies

GSL version 1.15 or larger. If you have installed GSL on your system, the location of the library files are determined by running the gsl-config binary. If it cannot be found in your PATH, PkgConfig is tried to locate GSL.
If you have not installed GSL on your system, Alien::GSL is used to install the latest version on your system. Alien::GSL depends on Net::SSLeay to download the library, which requires that you have installed libssl-dev and libz-dev (on Debian platforms, or similar libraries on other platforms).
