    Summary: Utilities related to prime numbers, including fast sieves and factoring
    Description: 
    A set of utilities related to prime numbers.  These include multiple sieving.methods, is_prime, prime_count, nth_prime, approximations and bounds for
    the prime_count and nth prime, next_prime and prev_prime, factoring utilities,
    and more.
    
    The default sieving and factoring are intended to be (and currently are)
    the fastest on CPAN, including the Math::Prime::XS manpage, the Math::Prime::FastSieve manpage,
    the Math::Factor::XS manpage, the Math::Prime::TiedArray manpage, the Math::Big::Factors manpage,
    the Math::Factoring manpage, and the Math::Primality manpage (when the GMP module is available).
    For numbers in the 10-20 digit range, it is often orders of magnitude faster.
    Typically it is faster than the Math::Pari manpage for 64-bit operations.
    
    All operations support both Perl UV's (32-bit or 64-bit) and bignums.  It
    requires no external software for big number support, as there are Perl
    implementations included that solely use Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat.
    If you want high performance with big numbers (larger than Perl's UV
    size), you should install the Math::Prime::Util::GMP manpage.  This will be a
    recurring theme throughout this documentation -- while all bignum operations
    are supported in pure Perl, most methods will be much slower than the C+GMP
    alternative.
    
    The module is thread-safe and allows concurrency between Perl threads while
    still sharing a prime cache.  It is not itself multi-threaded.  See the
    Limitations section if you are using Win32 and threads in
    your program.
    
    Two scripts are also included and installed by default:
    
    =over 4
    
    =item *
    
    primes.pl displays primes between start and end values or expressions,
    with many options for filtering (e.g. twin, safe, circular, good, lucky,
    etc.).  Use `--help' to see all the options.
    
    =item *
    
    factor.pl operates similar to the GNU `factor' program.  It supports
    bigint and expression inputs.
