Create and manipulate continued fractions in perl.
This module is in an alpha state. Method names and parameters may change in the next release, aside from the methods "new()", "from_ratio()", "from_root()". Fortunately, there aren't many other methods beyond that.
Although the module uses Math::BigInt and Math::BigRat modules, the internal calculations to create the continued fraction are handled with perl's regular scalars. So far this hasn't been a problem for the creation, and the convergent method does use BigInts, so we're okay.
If you are not using the cpan or cpanm commands, nor using Activestate's PPM, install this module by running the following commands:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build installAfter installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc or man command, depending upon your system.
