Math::GSL - Perl interface to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL)
Version 0.13_03
use Math::GSL::Matrix;
my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(5,5); # 5x5 zero matrix
# note that columns and rows are zero-based
$matrix->set_col(0, [1..5]) # set *first* column to 1,2,3,4,5
->set_row(2, [5..9]); # set *third* column to 5,6,7,8,9
my @matrix = $matrix->as_list; # matrix as Perl list
my $gsl_matrix = $matrix->raw; # underlying GSL object
use Math::GSL::RNG;
my $rng = Math::GSL::RNG->new;
my @random_numbers = map { $rng->get } (1 .. 1000);
use Math::GSL::Deriv qw/:all/;
my $function = sub { my $x=shift; sin($x**2) };
my ($status,$val,$err) = gsl_deriv_central($function, 5, 0.01 );
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.

This software is still in active development, we appreciate your detailed bug reports and documentation patches. Please report any bugs or feature requests to the authors directly.
You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.
perldoc Math::GSL
or online at http://leto.net/code/Math-GSL/
If you would like the help develop Math::GSL, email the authors and do
git clone http://leto.net/code/Math-GSL.git cd Math-GSL git checkout -b bleed # create new local branch git pull origin bleed # pull in remote bleed
to get the latest source, which is a two-headed beast with branches master and bleed. The master branch is our stable branch, which is periodically sync-ed with bleed. To view the latest source code online, go to http://leto.net/gitweb/. The latest version of Git can be found at http://git.or.cz.
Thanks to PDX.pm, The Perl Foundation and everyone at Google who makes the Summer of Code happen each year. You rock.
This Perl module is dedicated in memory of Nick Ing-Simmons.
