| Summary : Decimal Math without Floating Point Errors
|
Description :
There are numerous instances where floating point math is unsuitable, yet
the data does not consist solely of integers. This module employs new
features in Math::BigFloat to automatically maintain precision during math
operations. This is a convenience module, since all of the operations are
handled by Math::BigFloat internally. You could do everything this module
does by setting some attributes in Math::BigFloat. This module simplifies
that task by assuming that if you specify a given number of decimal places
in the call to new() then that should be the precision for that object
going forward.
Please examine assumptions you are operating under before deciding between
this module and Math::BigFloat. With this module the assumption is that
your data is not very accurate and you do not want to overstate any
resulting values; Math::BigFloat can unintentially inflate the apparent
accuracy of a calculation.
