=head1 NAME

Crypt::PBC::Pairing - OO interface for the Stanford PBC library

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Crypt::PBC;

    my $pairing = new Crypt::PBC("params_d.txt");
    my $G1      = $pairing->init_G1->random;
    my $G2      = $pairing->init_G2->random->double->square;
    my $GT      = $pairing->init_GT->pairing_apply( $G1, $G2 );

=head1 Initializer Functions

The only thing of use this package does is initialize elements in the pairing.
It does many other things behind the scenes though.

    my $G1_element = $pairing->init_G1;  # returns Crypt::PBC::Element
    my $G2_element = $pairing->init_G2;  # objects
    my $GT_element = $pairing->init_GT;
    my $Zr_element = $pairing->init_Zr;

The most important thing the Pairing package does is handle memory for you.
The package is a scalar ref of the C-pointer.  C<$$pairing> is the "address" as
an integer!

It's important when clearing the PBC memory that pairings get cleared after
elements and the Element and Pairing objects handle that on their own.  You may
safely ignore clearing elements and pairings if you use the OO interface.

Although, be sure that if you overload C<DESTROY> that you call
C<SUPER::DESTROY()>!
