+Math::BigFloat - Arbitrary length float math package
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+All basic math operations are overloaded if you declare your big
+floats as
+
+ $float = new Math::BigFloat "2.123123123123123123123123123123123";
+
+=over 2
+
+=item number format
+
+canonical strings have the form /[+-]\d+E[+-]\d+/ . Input values can
+have embedded whitespace.
+
+=item Error returns 'NaN'
+
+An input parameter was "Not a Number" or divide by zero or sqrt of
+negative number.
+
+=item Division is computed to
+
+C<max($Math::BigFloat::div_scale,length(dividend)+length(divisor))>
+digits by default.
+Also used for default sqrt scale.
+
+=item Rounding is performed
+
+according to the value of
+C<$Math::BigFloat::rnd_mode>:
+
+ trunc truncate the value
+ zero round towards 0
+ +inf round towards +infinity (round up)
+ -inf round towards -infinity (round down)
+ even round to the nearest, .5 to the even digit
+ odd round to the nearest, .5 to the odd digit
+
+The default is C<even> rounding.

+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The current version of this module is a preliminary version of the
+real thing that is currently (as of perl5.002) under development.
+
+The printf subroutine does not use the value of
+C<$Math::BigFloat::rnd_mode> when rounding values for printing.
+Consequently, the way to print rounded values is
+to specify the number of digits both as an
+argument to C<ffround> and in the C<%f> printf string,
+as follows:
+
+ printf "%.3f\n", $bigfloat->ffround(-3);
