Howdy,
It may work, or it may not. If it works - in the sense of making the
test failure go away - then I would expect it to bite someone later when
they just happen to hit upon a number where the floating point rounding
error goes the other way.
Check that it's in an acceptable range.

Thanks David. This is a nice module, but overkill for my needs and I'd
rather not make people install more CPAN modules than they have to.
Looks like the key thing is this line:
$ok = abs($p - $q) $epsilon;
I'll incorporate that bit into my test suite for Number::Format.

Howdy,
Yikes. You must have missed Test::Number::Delta when you were writing
that. On CPAN since 2005. I originally called it Test::Float and got
argued into a proper hierarchical name, which is probably why no one
seems to know it exists. Synopsis:

Hi wise Perl authors:
I've been building some Perl packages for Debian. I've noticed in the
course of this that dh-make-perl (our preferred script for
transforming Perl distributions into Debian packages) prefers
Makefile.PL over Build.PL.
One problem this has caused is that a Makefile is
The way I've interpreted that in my own auto-build scripting is that if
Build.PL exists, the module author is probably a Module::Build user who is
only providing a Makefile.PL grudgingly for the sake of those who haven't
installed Module::Build, and thus I figure that if there's any difference

Is anyone aware of any modules that will check subroutine arguments? I can
think of two similar features of Perl, but neither is quite right:
1. Prototypes (perlsyn) - put something like ($$@) after your subroutine
declaration - but doesn't work for object methods and a few other cases.
Plus,
