I just uploaded a perl-wrapper for the udunits2 library to CPAN. The
package name is Physics::Udunits2 and it will appear as
Physics-Udunits2-0.03.tar.gz under
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-authors/id/H/HE/HEIKOK/
It might take some hours to get there due to internal CPAN handling.
Physics::Udunits2 is a thin wrapper around the udunits2 package. It
supports most functions of the C-API documentation. The following
function groups have been left out in the current release: visitors,
formatting of unit-names, and mapping of names and symbols.
A short example:
use Physics::Udunits2;
my $system = new Physics::Udunits2();
my $mUnit = $system->getUnit("m");
my $kmUnit = $system->getUnit("km");
if ($mUnit->isConvertibleTo($kmUnit)) {
my $converter = $mUnit->getConverterTo($kmUnit);
foreach my $num (1..1000) {
printf("%fm = %fkm\n", $num, $converter->convert($num));
}
}
Feedback is welcome.
