Yes, I am proposing a Perl module for rounding numbers, to be called Math::Round. This may seem like an odd thing to suggest, but rounding numbers can be a little tricky, and I have sometimes found myself wishing for functions like these. The module would include the following functions: round: round to nearest integer; numbers ending in .5 go "to infinity" (3.5 becomes 4, -3.5 becomes -4) round_even: round; numbers ending in .5 go to the even number round_odd: round to the odd number round_rand: round up or down randomly nearest: round to the nearest multiple of any number; e.g., nearest(20, 36) yields 40 nearest_rand: like nearest, up or down randomly; e.g., nearest(10, 35) may yield 30 or 40 Comments?
