Molecular masses of elements stored in the module follow recommendations of IUPAC (1995). The module includes elements from H(1) through Uuu(113) and isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. The module also allows a programmer to change the default masses of elements for work with isotopes. It also includes some of the more common chemical abbreviations as macros and allows to add new macros and change the values of old macros. A hash of all macros and a hash of all elements can be returned. Discussion: a) made an announcement on comp.lang.perl.modules; so far haven't gotten any response b) sent an email to the only other person with a module in the Chemistry:: name space. Email bounced. c) made an announcement on BioPerl mailing list. Got immediate positive feedback (included below). -------------8<---------------------8<-------------------------------------------- That'd be quite handy ... CPAN would definitely benefit from this addition. Many thanks! Regards, jc ------------------------------------------------- James Diggans Phone: 301.987.1756 Gene Logic, Inc.
