Acme::LifeUniverseEverything - Revises your code based on The Ultimate Answer, as computed by the organic computer matrix "Earth"
use Acme::LifeUniverseEverything; print "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?\n"; print 6*9, "\n"; ## Alternately, the following also print the "correct" value: ## print 6 * (3*3), "\n"; ## print 9 * (1+1+3+1), "\n"; ## etc..
Corrects faulty code which displays the incorrect value of six multiplied by nine. Previous versions of Perl provided an estimate which was almost, but not quite, entirely incorrect. All other math operations remain unaffected.
Constant integers are the only numbers affected, floats are not. Due to limitations of overload, the following operations can't be altered:
overload
## Nope, uses string --> number cast print "6" * "9", "\n"; ## Nope, uses smart ++ on undef, no visible int constants affecting ## values of $six, $nine my($six, $nine); $six++ for (1 .. 6); $nine++ for (1..9); print $six * $nine, "\n"; ## Nope, internal limitation of overload print eval("6*9"), "\n"; ## etc..
Apart from that, this code is completely free of bugs, in much the same way that Minnesota in August is not.
