The Math::Units module converts a numeric value in one unit of measurement
|
|
to some other unit. The units must be compatible, i.e. length can not be
|
|
converted to volume. If a conversion can not be made an exception is
|
|
thrown.
|
|
|
|
A combination chaining and reduction algorithm is used to perform the most
|
|
direct unit conversion possible. Units may be written in several different
|
|
styles. An abbreviation table is used to convert from common long-form
|
|
unit names to the (more or less) standard abbreviations that the units
|
|
module uses internally. All multiplicative unit conversions are cached so
|
|
that future conversions can be performed very quickly.
|
|
|
|
Too many units, prefixes and abbreviations are supported to list here. See
|
|
the source code for a complete listing.
