Number::Interval - A representation of a numeric interval This is release V0.06 of Number::Interval. This module can be used to specify bound or unbound intervals (ie a max and a min value, a max only or a min only) and then compare them with other intervals, find out whether a number is within the interval and provide a stringified form of the interval. This is the first release so the interface should be considered alpha state. Comments welcome. INSTALLATION % perl Build.PL % ./Build % ./Build test % ./Build install REQUIREMENTS Requires perl 5.006 or newer. Written completely in Perl. XS is not required.
