NAME

Acme::Pi - Mmm, pie

VERSION

version 3.14159265358979

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::Pi;

my $area = $π * $radius**2;
my $volume = 4 * π / 3 * $radius**3;

DESCRIPTION

This distribution was created to celebrate Pi Day 2014, as well as to demonstrate yet another example of a pathological $VERSION.

Additionally, it exports two variables: $π and $𝝿, and two constants, π and 𝝿, defined as:

atan2(1,1) * 4;

This module also defines its own $VERSION as a fixed-point value approximating π (using as many digits as is supported on the local machine). It is intended that version parsers in the toolchain (Module::Metadata, ExtUtils::MakeMaker's MM->parse_version, Parse::PMFile) should be capable of statically parsing this package's $VERSION.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This module was brought to you by the 2014 QA Hackathon in Lyon, France, as well as the number π.
