NAME

Math::GSL - Perl interface to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) using SWIG

VERSION

Version 0.05_01

SYNOPSIS

    use Math::GSL::Matrix qw/:all/;
    my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(5,5);   # 5x5 zero matrix
    $matrix->set_col(0, [1..5])
           ->set_row(2, [5..9]);
    my @matrix = $matrix->as_list;              # matrix as Perl list
    my $gsl_matrix = $matrix->raw;              # underlying GSL object

Each GSL subsystem has it's own module. For example, the random number generator subsystem is Math::GSL::RNG. Many subsystems have a more Perlish and object-oriented frontend which can be used, as the above example shows. The raw GSL object is useful for using the low-level GSL functions, which in the case of the Matrix subsytem, would be of the form gsl_matrix_* . Each module has further documentation about the low-level C functions as well as using the more intuitive (but slightly slower) object-oriented interface.
