Shouldn't it be in the Algorithm:: namespace rather than the Math namespace? Math:: seems to be far more "pure" mathematics and computational support modules, whereas Algorithm seems to be nifty ways to efficiently solve simple to express problems: http://search.cpan.org/search?m=module&q=Math&s=1&n=100 http://search.cpan.org/search?m=module&q=Algorithm&s=1&n=100 Nicholas Clark PS Surely the choice is Maths::NearestNeighbour vs Math::NearestNeighbor :-)
