Ok, so I have a design question.
This perl module claims to be an interface to the cephes math library.
This library is quite old and not really maintained as seen here:
http://www.moshier.net/#Cephes

So I wonder if either :
 - some functions of the Cephes aren't merged in nowadays math library (-lm ?)
 - If the cephes library could be built separately to be available to other
(non-perl) project. (it seems used inside grace and labplot at least) 
 - If the license of the Cephes code is clear enough:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/12/msg00295.html

Of course, using shared version of the library may prevent some duplicate works
in the maintainability of such library, as i expect... It would be interesting
to ask to the related project.

Unfortunately , theses question already appeared on the ml and i don't see any
final conclusion here. So i don't know how is licensed the cephes code source.
