NAME
   Number::DataRate - Convert data rate to bits or bytes per second

SYNOPSIS
     # Bluetooth 2.0+EDR has a data rate of 3000 kbit/s, but what is that
     # in bits and bytes per second?
     use Number::DataRate;
     my $data_rate = Number::DataRate->new;
     my $bits_per_second = $data_rate->to_bits_per_second('3000 kbit/s');
     my $bytes_per_second = $data_rate->to_bytes_per_second('3000 kbit/s');

DESCRIPTION
   This module convers data rate to bits or bytes per second. For far more
   than you ever wanted to know about data rates, see Wikipedia:

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units

   This module accepts a wide range of formats, for example:

     0.045 kbit/s
     0.045 kbps
     5.625Byte/s
     24,576 kbit/s
     54.0 Mbit/s
     6.4 Gbit/s
     1.28Tbit/s
