=head1 Math::Decimal::FastPP

Math::Decimal::FastPP provides a few common decimal arithmetic and
rounding functions written in pure Perl.  The functions are of course
slower than Perl's built-in binary floating-point math, but they're
faster than L<Math::BigFloat|Math::BigFloat> and other commonly used
decimal math modules.

This module is currently less complete than Perl's built-in math and
other decimal math modules.  So far it only includes addition,
multiplication, two rounding functions, and one formatting function.

Despite the similar name and purpose, this module is not compatible with
L<Math::Decimal|Math::Decimal>.

=head2 INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

=head2 DOCUMENTATION

Documentation for this module is embedded within it and can be formatted
with perldoc:

    perldoc lib/Math/Decimal/FastPP.pm

After installing, you can refer to the module by name instead of by file
path:

    perldoc Math::Decimal::FastPP
