The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Algorithm::Huffman
DSLIP: idpOp
description: symbol table and de/encode text via huffman
userid: BIGJ (Janek Schleicher)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
similar:
rationale:
What the module does should be clearly clear from the name of it,
allthough I had been very suprised that there wasn't any module
implementing it on CPAN. (Didn't I search right ?!)
I also believe, that Algorithm::Huffman is the right namespace for
it. I wouldn't like to put it under Compress::* as the algorithm
could be used for compressing, but a similar result could also be
achieved with Shannon-Fano-Algorithm (or ZIP or
run-length-compressing or ...). Also the creation of a symbol code
table isn't important (looked from the point of the user) for a
compression tool, but it's a very important part of the Huffman
algorithm.
