Do you think most Perl programmers appreciate the difference, or are likely to need both sorts frequently?
I guess not.
I'd much prefer for introductory Perl books not to have to explain what "Euclidean" means.
Yeah, it will not dive into the exact reasons why the floor definition was chosen, either.
I still reckon a single type of division is sufficient in core, with everything else in modules.
Sorry I was taken away by the beauty of the two pairs ÷, % and div, mod. But I figure that people might want div as ASCII version of ÷ and perhaps like mod better than %. Regards, TSa. --
