I have uploaded version 2.0 of Statistics::Descriptive to CPAN (with
much help from Herr Koenig :)  Here are the details from the README
file:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a complete rewrite of the OO interface to
Statistics::Descriptive.  A full description of the new interface can
be found in the POD documentation inside the module, here are the
highlights:

*  None of the underlying methods of calculation have been changed.

*  There are two separate, distinct classes in the module, Sparse and
  Full.  Full inherits from Sparse and extends it with storage of the
  data and additional methods that depend on analyzing the data based
  on user input (in general).  It should be easy to inherit from
  either of the classes.

*  Minimum and maximum methods are now calculated as part of the
  Sparse class, resulting in a faster access to that data.

*  The indices to the maxima and minima are also available.

*  Methods were added to manually sort the data and prevent
  subsequent sorting of the data, sort_data and presorted,
  respectively.  This should speed up some of the analysis by not
  repeatedly sorting the data.
