The B of I +modulo I is defined as the smallest positive value I for which +I raised to the Ith power, modulo I, is equal to 1. The +order may not exist, if I is composite. + +=head1 RESTRICTIONS + +This program is very slow, especially for large moduli. It is +intended as a way to help find primitive elements in a modular field, +but it does not do so in a particularly inefficient manner. It was +written simply to help verify that a particular candidate does not +have an obviously short cycle mod I. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +gcd(1), invmod(1), isprime(1) + +=head1 AUTHOR + + Michael J.
