NAME

Math::Libm - Perl extension for the C math library, libm

SYNOPSIS

  use Math::Libm ':all';

  print "e = ", M_E, "\n";
  print "pi/2 = ", M_PI_2, "\n";
  print "erf(1) = ", erf(1), "\n";
  print "hypot(3,4) = ", hypot(3,4), "\n";

  my $signgam = 0;
  my $y = lgamma_r(-0.5, $signgam);
  print "signgam=$signgam lgamma=$y\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module is a translation of the C math.h file. It exports the following selected constants and functions.
