The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Algorithm::Huffman DSLIP: idpOp description: symbol table and de/encode text via huffman userid: BIGJ (Janek Schleicher) chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities) communities: similar: rationale: What the module does should be clearly clear from the name of it, allthough I had been very suprised that there wasn't any module implementing it on CPAN. (Didn't I search right ?!) I also believe, that Algorithm::Huffman is the right namespace for it. I wouldn't like to put it under Compress::* as the algorithm could be used for compressing, but a similar result could also be achieved with Shannon-Fano-Algorithm (or ZIP or run-length-compressing or ...). Also the creation of a symbol code table isn't important (looked from the point of the user) for a compression tool, but it's a very important part of the Huffman algorithm. enteredby: BIGJ (Janek Schleicher) enteredon: Mon Aug 12 20:18:47 2002 GMT The resulting entry would be: Algorithm:: ::Huffman idpOp symbol table and de/encode text via huffman BIGJ Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=dc100000_b4a0475615eae23c&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=dc100000_b4a0475615eae23c&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
