NAME
Convert::Pluggable - convert between various units of measurement
VERSION
Version 0.016
SYNOPSIS
convert between various units of measurement
use Convert::Pluggable;
...
my $result = $c-convert( { 'factor' => '5', 'fromUnit' => 'feet', 'toUnit' => 'inches', 'precision' => '3', } ); >
will produce '60.000'.
See Convert-Pluggable.t for many more example uses.
See https://ddh5.duckduckgo.com/?q=10000+minutes+in+microseconds for test uses
EXPORT
convert
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
new()
Create a new Conversion object.
convert_temperatures()
A function for converting between various temperature units. Currently supports Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, Rankine, and Raumur.
convert()
This is the workhorse. All conversion work (except for temperatures) gets done here. This is the only exported sub.
get_matches()
get factors for later calculating conversion
get trigger 'types' to determine if we can perform a calculation in the first place
get canoncial units for massaging output
determine if a unit may be negative
This gets some useful metadata for convert() to carry out its work.
get_units()
This is where you add new unit types so that convert() can operate on them. Currently supported units of measurement are: mass, length, time, pressure, energy, power, angle, force, temperature, digital.

TODO
add DDG massaging later if useful
better error handling
all args to functions should be hash refs!
store units data in a file?
add more unit types (digital, cooking, etc.)
add more tests and better test output
fix this documentation!
what happens when two units have the same notation? (e.g., 'kilometer' and 'kilobyte' both can use 'K')
