Abstract: An efficient algorithm and a Fortran 90 module (LaguerrePol) for computing Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(alpha)}(z)$ are presented. The standard three-term recurrence relation satisfied by the polynomials and different types of asymptotic expansions valid for $n$ large and $alpha$ small, are used depending on the parameter region. Based on tests of contiguous relations in the parameter $alpha$ and the degree $n$ satisfied by the polynomials, we claim that a relative accuracy close or better than $10^{-12}$ can be obtained using the module LaguerrePol for computing the functions $L_n^{(alpha)}(z)$ in the parameter range $zge0$, $-1<alphale5$, $nge0$.
