NAME
Number::Nary - encode and decode numbers as n-ary strings
VERSION
version 0.01
$Id$SYNOPSIS
This module lets you convert numbers into strings that encode the number using the digit set of your choice.
FUNCTIONS
n_codec($digits)
my ($encode_sub, $decode_sub) = n_codec('012'); # trinaryThis routine returns a reference to a subroutine which will encode numbers into the given set of digits and a reference which will do the reverse operation.
This routine will croak if the digit string contains repeated digits.
The encode sub will croak if it is given input other than a non-negative integer.
The decode sub will croak if given a string that contains characters not in the digit string.
n_encode($value, $digits)
This encodes the given value into a string using the given digit string. It is written in terms of n_codec, above, so it's not efficient at all for multiple uses in one process.
This routine is not exported by default.
n_decode($value, $digits)
This is the decoding equivalent to n_encode, above.
This routine is not exported by default.
