Data-Money The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information that should be provided before the module is installed. A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the README file from a module distribution so that people browsing the archive can use it to get an idea of the module's uses. It is usually a good idea to provide version information here so that people can decide whether fixes for the module are worth downloading. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Data::Money You can also look for information at: RT, CPAN's request tracker (report bugs here) http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Data-Money AnnoCPAN, Annotated CPAN documentation http://annocpan.org/dist/Data-Money CPAN Ratings http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Data-Money Search CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-Money/ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This module was originally based on Data::Currency by Christopher H. Laco but 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 from Andrew Nelson "<anelson@cpan.org>".
