------
This is BikePower, a re-port of the original "bike_power" program by
Ken Roberts and Mark Grennan.
From the original description:
This is a computer program called "bike_power", which calculates power
output and power consumption for bicycling. You give it things like
riding speed, body weight, hill grade, and wind speed. The program
prints out a table with power output and power consumption, broken out
in various ways.
Requirements
You need a modern perl (e.g. perl5.004 but older versions may work
too). If you want to use the Tk interface (and that's the only reason
why bother with this module), you need also Tk402.202. The modules
Data-Dumper (anyway standard in perl5.005) and Tk-Pod are optional.
All of these may be found at a CPAN site, e.g.
ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/lang/perl/CPAN/.
Installation
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Programs
* bikepwr - a command line tool, similar to the original bike_pwr
* tkbikepwr - perl/Tk-interface for BikePower
Module BikePower.pm
The API is quite unstable, so there is no documentation yet.
