GMP (GNU Multi-Precision) is a collection of libraries written in the c language for high performance (not specific to Perl). Math::Prime::Util::GMP is a kind of Perl interface to it. So, it is quite normal that you'll find something like sieve.c in there. I probably wouldn't advise you to try to change anything to it.
On the other hand, if high performance is not your primary goal, you will probably find pure Perl implementation of what you're looking for by going up in the directory hierarchy (in Math::Prime::util or Math::Prime).

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).
