Acme::Pi - Mmm, pie
version 3.14159265358979
use Acme::Pi; my $area = $π * $radius**2; my $volume = 4 * π / 3 * $radius**3;
This distribution was created to celebrate Pi Day 2014, as well as to demonstrate yet another example of a pathological $VERSION.
$VERSION
Additionally, it exports two variables: $π and $𝝿, and two constants, π and 𝝿, defined as:
$π
$𝝿
π
𝝿
atan2(1,1) * 4;
This module also defines its own $VERSION as a fixed-point value approximating π (using as many digits as is supported on the local machine). It is intended that version parsers in the toolchain (Module::Metadata, ExtUtils::MakeMaker's MM->parse_version, Parse::PMFile) should be capable of statically parsing this package's $VERSION.
MM->parse_version
This module was brought to you by the 2014 QA Hackathon in Lyon, France, as well as the number π.
