The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Math::String
DSLIP: Rdphp
description: Math w/ strings represented as big integers
userid: TELS (Tels)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
Nobody had much interest in it yet ;)
similar:
Base::Convert, Math::Flex (or was that String::Flex? Cant check,
cpan.org is down)
rationale:
The module is a subclass of Math::BigInt and represents both
strings and integers by providing a 1:1 mapping between these two,
hence Math::String.
(It is basically a giant frog-leap from $x = 'aa'; $x++; to a
full-fledged string-math allowing $x = 'aa' + $y etc.)
There are also two other modules in the tar:
Math::String::Sequence, which is simple 'aa' .. 'zz' with
Math::Strings. Math::String::Charset, which is used by Math::String,
but can also be used on it's own if you need describing character
sets.
Cheers,
Tels
