hello,
i'm looking for a vector module to be used in Language::Befunge.
currently, i provide Language::Befunge::Vector which is a pure perl
version of what i'm looking for.
my requirements:
- n dimensions, ie, not limited to 2D (x,y) or 3D (x,y,z)
- integer values
- basic operations on them (addition, substraction, etc)
- fast, ie not pure perl
this seems to remove all the existing cpan modules but PDL. but PDL
seems a bit big for what i need... or isn't it?
therefore, i was planning to:
1- remove Language::Befunge::Vector from Language::Befunge and release
it as a new module
2- provide a new XS module with the same interface, overwriting module
1- (same as Readonly::XS does with Readonly)
3- require module 1- recommend module 2- in Language::Befunge
this has the added benefit over PDL that i can fallback on pure-perl
module for machines that don't have a compiler.
so now here's my question: how should i name my modules?
(maybe the first question would be: do you think i'm doing sthg wise or
would you recommend to use PDL?)
i thought of:
- Math::Vector
- Math::Vector::Integer (i deal with integer only)
- Math::Vector::NDims (i deal with more than 3 dims)
- Math::NDimVector
- other?
wdyt?
