[PATCH] Math::BigInt v1.67 (pre-release)

Moin,

it seems my last post slipped through the cracks. Anyway, I worked some more
on BigInt v1.67 and this time also produced a patch against blead. Please
find the tar.gz and patch here:

http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/Math-BigInt-1.67.tar.gz
md5sum 22b2e95490c0de010a1354f1661ea60f
http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/patch_blead_BigInt-v1.67.txt.gz
md5sum 3ed4225aa3874a48928743aa1b669b3c
(gzipped about 30 Kbyte)

All tests in blead pass after applying this patch. So, please integrate this
into blead, so that it can be tested by the smokers. Me hopes v1.67 also
makes it into maint before 5.8.3 is out.

I will shortly post another message with the current status and my plans for
BigInt v1.68.

Here is what I did since my last post on the BigInt v1.67 front:

* Bastian Angerstein did test it under Perl 5.5.3 (on AIX nonetheless) and
found some bugs (mostly with the testscripts and sprintf(%b) not beeing known
under perl pre v5.6). Thanx!
* I implemented a BigInt blog() function. It is reasonable fast (although
scales badly at O(N) where N is the output number) and quite simple. Tests
have been added.
* I implemented a BigInt broot() function. It is similiar to the blog()
function. Tests have been added.
* removed a needless _copy() in bmod() with negative arguments
* Fixed some of the more glaring grammar problems in the doc

Except bugfixes, doc patches, and the writing of HISTORY/NEW and some
benhmarks, that's it for v1.67 - anything else will be left for v1.68 (which
is due later this year).

Thank you in advance,

Tels

Thanks, applied as #21861. I also moved Math::BigInt::Scalar to t/lib.
