NAME
   Test::LimitDecimalPlaces - Compare numerical values by limiting number
   of decimal places

VERSION
   This document describes Test::LimitDecimalPlaces version 0.01

SYNOPSIS
       use Test::LimitDecimalPlaces tests => 5; # Can specify the test plan.

       # Equality test by default number of decimal places
       limit_ok(1.2345678, 1.2345678, 'Test the same floating-point values.');

       # Inequality test by default number of decimal places
       limit_not_ok( 0.0000001, 0.0000002, 'Test different values' );

       # Equality test by specified number of decimal places
       limit_ok_by(0.00000001, 0.000000006, 8, 'Test similar value.') ."\n"; # number of decimal places is 8

       # Inequality test by specified number of decimal places
       limit_not_ok_by( 0.00000001, 0.00000002, 8, 'Test different values.' ); # number of decimal places is 8

       # Compare arrays
       my @x = ( 0, 1, 0.1, 0.0000001, 0.0000001 );
       my @y = ( 0, 1, 0.1, 0.0000001, 0.00000006 );
       limit_ok(\@x, \@y, 'Compare arrays.');

       # Set a different default number of decimal places
       use Test::LimitDecimalPlaces num_of_digits => 6, tests => 1;
       limit_ok(1.234567, 1.234566, 'Test the similar floating-point values.');

DESCRIPTION
   If compare floating point numbers normally, we cannot get the correct
   result on some environment. This module was made to solve this problem.

   This module provides test functions that can compare numerical values by
   limiting number of decimal places. These functions are using splintf()
   internally to limit number of decimal places.

USAGE
   use Test::LimitDecimalPlaces;
       Use with no args, then number of decimal places to limit defaults 7.

   use Test::LimitDecimalPlaces num_of_digits => 6;
       Use with argument of 'num_of_digits', then default number of decimal
       places to limit is set specified number.

       This parameter must be a number greater than or equal to zero.

   With test plan
       This module can specify test plan. Like so:

           use Test::LimitDecimalPlaces tests => 1;

       And this module can specify own options with test plan. Like so:

           use Test::LimitDecimalPlaces num_of_digits => 6, tests => 1;

       Test::LimitDecimalPlaces-specific option must come first.

FUNCTIONS
   limit_ok
       limit_ok($x, $y, 'Description of test');

       limit_ok(\@x, \@y, 'Description of test');

       This function compares and check equality between given values by
       limiting default number of decimal places.

   limit_ok_by
       limit_ok_by($x, $y, $num_of_digits, 'Description of test');

       limit_ok_by(\@x, \@y, $num_of_digits, 'Description of test');

       Action of this function is almost the same as limit_ok().

       But this function uses specified number of decimal places
       ($num_of_digits in case of the above instance).

   limit_not_ok
       limit_not_ok($x, $y, 'Description of test');

       limit_not_ok(\@x, \@y, 'Description of test');

       This function compares and check inequality between given values by
       limiting default number of decimal places.

   limit_not_ok_by
       limit_not_ok_by($x, $y, $num_of_digits, 'Description of test');

       limit_not_ok_by(\@x, \@y, $num_of_digits, 'Description of test');

       Action of this function is almost the same as limit_not_ok().

       But this function uses specified number of decimal places
       ($num_of_digits in case of the above instance).

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

   variables.
