| Summary : Exact Currency Math with Formatting and Rounding
|
Description :
Currency math is actually more closely related to integer math than it is
to floating point math. Rounding errors on addition and subtraction are not
allowed and division/multiplication should never create more accuracy than
the original values. All currency values should round to the closest cent
or whatever the local equivalent should happen to be.
However, repeated mathematical operations on currency values can lead to
inaccurate results, if rounding is performed at each intermediate step. In
order to preserve appropriate accuracy, the Math::Currency values are
stored with an additional two places of accuracy internally and only
rounded to the \"correct\" precision when the value is displayed (either by
the default stringification or through the use of as_float or as_int).
All common mathematical operations are overloaded, so once you initialize a
currency variable, you can treat it like any number and the module will do
the right thing. This module is a thin layer over Math::BigFloat which is
itself a layer over Math::BigInt.
