>From CPAN Test::Number::Delta: # Equality test with default tolerance delta_ok( 1e-5, 2e-5, 'values within 1e-6'); # Provide specific tolerance delta_within( 1e-3, 2e-3, 1e-4, 'values within 1e-4'); # Compare arrays or matrices @a = ( 3.14, 1.41 ); @b = ( 3.15, 1.41 ); delta_ok( \@a, \@b, 'compare @a and @b' ); # Set a different default tolerance use Test::Number::Delta within => 1e-5; delta_ok( 1.1e-5, 2e-5, 'values within 1e-5'); # ok # Set a relative tolerance use Test::Number::Delta relative => 1e-3; delta_ok( 1.01, 1.0099, 'values within 1.01e-3'); Note that the functions can be used for scalars or suitable arrays (and they each have a 'not' version for convenience). So far I've used the core's 'is_approx' for the 'delta_ok' emulation, but 'is_approx' doesn't allow the user to specify tolerances as 'delta_ok' does. The ability to specify tolerances would be useful for the core 'is_approx' function. Hope that is not too muddled a response. Best regards, -Tom
