Hi, I'm trying to get the perl module PDL::GSLSF::GAMMA working but am having some difficulty. As I understand it, the function "gsl_sf_gamma" should return the gamma function "Gamma(x)". For example, in R:
> gamma(0.4)
[1] 2.21816
However, I can't seem to replicate this using PDL:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use PDL;
use PDL::GSLSF::GAMMA;
my $out = gsl_sf_gamma(0.4);
print "$out\n";
Output is "1.63493983016443e-14".
I'm clearly doing something wrong, please excuse my ignorance. Any help greatly appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
