Is there any computer program for finding the elements of GF(p^n), because manually this process is quit lengthy. If we want to find the elements of GF(41^2), it will take several hours. Pleas tell me computer program and command to find the elements of GF(p^n). Is there any list of the elements of GF(p^n) available in internet????

What do you mean?

If you mean trying to find a degree n polynomial f\in\mathbb{F}_p[X] such that \mathbb{F}_{p^n}\cong\dfrac{\mathbb{F}_p[X]}{\langle f\rangle}, then the easiest is probably to use the usual sieve to find an irreducible polynomial of degree n. It doesn't take long to find \mathbb{F}_{41^2}\cong\dfrac{\mathbb{F}_{41}[X]}{\langle X^2+3\rangle}, for example.
