I'm thinking about uploading a module I wrote to CPAN/pause, and I
thought I should ask to make sure I do it correctly; I actually meant to
do it awhile ago, but never quite got around to it.
The module is called StdDev; it uses the perl OO interface, and has only
a few methods.
new() creates a new instance,
add(point) adds a point by tracking the total and number of points,
avg() computes the average and standard deviation (as list), or just
average in scalar context
and string() is just a convenience routine to print a string describing
the average and standard dev.
It's simple, but fast and quite useful. I just wanted to make sure the
interface and name go with what they should.
Thanks
