#Algorithm::Evolutionary::Simple version 0.2

A simple and straightforward implementation of an evolutionary algorithm. Thought for demos and also for speed.

##INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

But you will probably use

cpanm Algorithm::Evolutionary::Simple

or

sudo cpan Algorithm::Evolutionary::Simple

This module is apparently also available at the OpenSUSE repos. To install it, I guess, you should use:

zypper install perl-Algorithm-Evolutionary-Simple

or via YaST

##DEPENDENCIES

As shown in the Makefile.PL file; mainly Sort::Key::Top.

##SYNOPSIS

Very simple evolutionary algorithm in Perl, mainly with pedagogical purposes. Once installed, use the provided functions or run simple-EA.pl
