NAME
Data::Money - Money/currency with formatting and overloading.
VERSION
Version 0.20
DESCRIPTION
The Data::Money
module provides basic currency formatting and number handling via Math::BigFloat:
my $currency = Data::Money->new(value => 1.23);
Each Data::Money
object will stringify to the original value except in string context, where it stringifies to the format specified in format
.
MOTIVATION
Data::Money was created to make it easy to use different currencies (leveraging existing work in Locale::Currency
and Moo), to allow math operations with proper rounding (via Math::BigFloat) and formatting via Locale::Currency::Format.
SYNOPSIS
use strict; use warnings;
use Data::Money;
my $price = Data::Money->new(value => 1.2, code => 'USD');
print $price; # $1.20
print $price->code; # USD
print $price->format; # FMT_COMMON
print $price->as_string; # $1.20
# Overloading, returns new instance
my $m2 = $price + 1;
my $m3 = $price - 1;
my $m4 = $price * 1;
my $m5 = $price / 1;
my $m6 = $price % 1;
# Objects work too
my $m7 = $m2 + $m3;
my $m8 = $m2 - $m3;
my $m9 = $m2 * $m3;
my $m10 = $m2 / $m3;
# Modifies in place
$price += 1;
$price -= 1;
$price *= 1;
$price /= 1;
# Compares against numbers
print "Currency > 2 \n" if ($m2 > 2);
print "Currency < 3 \n" if ($m2 < 3);
print "Currency == 2.2 \n" if ($m2 == 2.2);
# And strings
print "Currency gt \$2.00 \n" if ($m2 gt '$2.00');
print "Currency lt \$3.00 \n" if ($m2 lt '$3.00');
print "Currency eq \$2.20 \n" if ($m2 eq '$2.20');
# and objects
print "Currency m2 > m3 \n" if ($m2 > $m3);
print "Currency m3 lt m2 \n" if ($m3 lt $m2);
print $price->as_string('FMT_SYMBOL'); # $1.20
METHODS
name()
Returns Data::Money
object currency name.
code($currency_code)
Gets/sets the three letter currency code for the current currency object.Defaults to USD.
value()
Returns the amount. Defaults to 0.
format($string)
Gets/sets the format to be used when as_string()
is called. See Locale::Currency::Format for the available formatting options. Defaults to FMT_COMMON
.
clone(%params)
Returns a clone (new instance) of this Data::Money
object. You may optionally specify some of the attributes to overwrite.
$currency->clone({ value => 100 }); # Clones all fields but changes value to 100
as_float()
Returns Data::Money
object value without any formatting.
as_int()
Returns the object's value "in pennies" (in the US at least). It strips the value of formatting using as_float()
and of any decimals.
absolute()
Returns a new Data::Money
object with the value set to the absolute value of the original.
negate()
Performs the negation operation, returning a new Data::Money
object with the opposite value (1 to -1, -2 to 2, etc).
add($num)
Adds the specified amount to this Data::Money
object and returns a new Data::Money
object. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does not modify the existing object.
add_in_place($num)
Adds the specified amount to this Data::Money
object, modifying its value. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does modify the existing object.
as_string()
Returns Data::Money
object as string.There is an alias stringify()
as well.
substract($num)
Subtracts the specified amount to this Data::Money
object and returns a new Data::Money
object. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does not modify the existing object.
substract_in_place($num)
Subtracts the specified amount to this Data::Money
object,modifying its value. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does modify the existing object.
multiply($num)
Multiplies the value of this Data::Money
object and returns a new Data::Money
object. You dcan dsupply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does not modify the existing object.
multiply_in_place($num)
Multiplies the value of this Data::Money
object, modifying its value. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does modify the existing object.
divide($num)
Divides the value of this Data::Money
object and returns a new Data::Money
object. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does not modify the existing object.
divide_in_place($num)
Divides the value of this Data::Money
object, modifying its value. You can supply either a number or a Data::Money
object. Note that this does modify the existing object.
modulo($num)
Performs the modulo operation on this Data::Money
object, returning a new Data::Money
object with the value of the remainder.
three_way_compare($num)
Compares a Data::Money
object to another Data::Money
object, or anything it is capable of coercing - numbers, numerical strings, or Math::BigFloat objects. Both numerical and string comparators work.
OPERATOR OVERLOADING
Data::Money
overrides some operators. It is important to note which operators change the object's value and which return new ones.All operators accept either a Data::Money
argument / a normal number via scalar and will die if the currency types mismatch.
Data::Money
overloads the following operators:
- +
-
Handled by the
add
method. Returns a newData::Money
object. - -
-
Handled by the
subtract
method. Returns a newData::Money
object. - *
-
Handled by the
multiply
method. Returns a newData::Money
object. - /
-
Handled by the
divide
method. Returns a newData::Money
object. - +=
-
Handled by the
add_in_place()
method. Modifies the left-hand object's value. Works with either aData::Money
argument or a normal number. - -=
-
Handled by the
subtract_in_place()
method. Modifies the left-hand object's value. Works with either aData::Money
argument or a normal number. - *=
-
Handled by the
multiply_in_place()
method. Modifies the left-hand object's value. Works with either aData::Money
argument or a normal number. - /=
-
Handled by the
divide_in_place()
method. Modifies the left-hand object's value. Works with either aData::Money
argument or a normal number. - <=>
-
Performs a three way comparsion. Works with either a Data::Money argument or a normal number.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This module was originally based on Data::Currency by Christopher H. Laco but I I opted to fork and create a whole new module because my work was wildly different from the original. I decided it was better to make a new module than to break back compat and surprise users. Many thanks to him for the great module.
Inspiration and ideas were also drawn from Math::Currency and Math::BigFloat.
Major contributions (more overloaded operators, disallowing operations on mismatched currences, absolute value, negation and unit tests) from Andrew Nelson <anelson@cpan.org>
