Set::Gapfillers - Fill in the gaps between integer ranges
What practical situation led to you needing this module? I'm curious.
Another Perl Seminar NY member and I have been working on a web
application in which we parse web pages and make the parsed data
available through a web interface. The particular pages we are working
with are identified by integers (e.g.,
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.jobs/4132). We downloaded a few
blocks of pages for testing purposes, then later needed a way to
identify the blocks remaining for downloading -- the gapfillers.
I then realized that any solution I came up with was generalizable to
any question concerning consecutive integers. And so we have the basis
for another CPAN distribution -- once we're sure it's named properly.
