+ GMP PERL MODULE INSTALLATION
+
+
+This module can be compiled within the GMP source directory or moved
+elsewhere and compiled. An installed GMP can be used, or a specified
+GMP build tree. Both static and shared GMP builds will work.
+
+The simplest case is when GMP has been installed to a standard system
+location
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make
+
+If not yet installed then the top-level GMP build directory must be
+specified
+
+ perl Makefile.PL GMP_BUILDDIR=/my/gmp/build
+ make
+
+In any case, with the module built, the sample program provided can be
+run
+
+ perl -Iblib/arch sample.pl
+
+If you built a shared version of libgmp but haven't yet installed it,
+then it might be necessary to add a run-time path to it. For example
+
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/gmp/build/.libs perl -Iblib/arch sample.pl
+
+Documentation is provided in pod format in GMP.pm, and will have been
+"man"-ified in the module build
+
+ man -l blib/man3/GMP.3pm
+or
+ man -M`pwd`/blib GMP
+
+A test script is provided, running a large number of more or less
+trivial checks
+
+ make test
+
+The module and its documentation can be installed in the usual way
+
+ make install
+
+This will be into /usr/local or wherever the perl Config module
+directs, but that can be controlled back at the Makefile.PL stage with
+the usual ExtUtils::MakeMaker options.
+
+Once installed, programs using the GMP module become simply
+
+ perl sample.pl
+
+And the documentation read directly too
+
+ man GMP
