This and other RFCs are available on the web at http://dev.perl.org/rfc/ =head1 TITLE Remove geometric functions from core =head1 VERSION Maintainer: Stephen P. Potter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Aug 24 2000 Mailing List: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version: 1 Number: 155 =head1 ABSTRACT Move the geometric functions (C<atan2>, C<cos>, etc) from the core language to a loadable module. =head1 DESCRIPTION The geometric functions currently included in the core language are of generally limited and specific value. This RFC is proposing that all the geometric functions should move to a Math::Geometry.pm module and require a "use Math::Geomtry;" in order to function in perl 6. The specific functions that would be covered under this proposal are: =over =item C<atan2> =item C<cos> =item C<exp> =item C<log> =item C<sin> =item C<sqrt> =back Additionally, there are other functions which could be added to this module, such as: =over 4 =item C<acos> =item C<asin> =item C<tan> =back =head1 IMPLEMENTATION Move code for geometric functions to Math::Geometry.pm, require "use Math::Geometry" to enable use of geometric functions. =head1 REFERENCES L<perlfunc>
