SYNOPSIS

	   use Math::Fibonacci qw(term series decompose);

	   my @sum = decompose ( 65535 );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a few functions related to Fibonacci numbers.

EXPORTS ON REQUEST

       term(), series() decompose(), isfibonacci()

FUNCTIONS

       term($n)
	   Returns the $n-th term of the Fibonacci sequence. The term is computed using the fast algorithm: "F(n) ~ g^n/sqrt(5)", where g is the
	   golden ratio and ~ means "take the nearest integer".

       series($n)
	   Computes and returns the first $n Fibonacci numbers.

       decompose($int)
	   Decomposes $int into the sum of Fibonacci numbers. Returns the list of Fibonacci numbers.

       isfibonacci($int)
	   Returns the sequence number of $int if it is a Fibonacci number or a non-true value if it is not.
