function p_inv = perm_inverse2 ( n, p )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% PERM_INVERSE2 inverts a permutation "in place".
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The routine needs no extra vector storage in order to compute the
%    inverse of a permutation.
%
%    This feature might be useful if the permutation is large.

%  Parameters:
