The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Data::CrossTable
DSLIP: idpOp
description: Tables with automatic col/row/total sums
userid: BIGJ (Janek Schleicher)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
similar:
Data::Table
rationale:
This modules handles of tables with automatic generated
col/row/total sums. A simple example could be: 1 2 3 4 Sum 1 4 5 6 1
16 2 1 2 3 4 10 3 10 1 1 2 14 Sum 15 8 10 7 40
Setting the values into the tables will force to recalculate the
sums. That is e.g. used when generating statistical reports.
Of course, you can use any associative, distributive operation
instead of sum (e.g. multiplication makes sense when working with
probabilities).
It's a special form of a table, so the name Data::CrossTable should
be O.K..
Of course, it's easy to implement, but this module enables a more
easier and less errorprone possibility to work with such tables (in
fact, in my first hacked versions, I sometimes switched rows/cols or
forgot whether 0 or 1 was the first line/row with some subtils
errors). As I believe, it's a standard form of output, used by some
people, it should be at CPAN.
