NAME

Slang::NumberBase - provide number base literals

SYNOPSIS

use Slang::NumberBase;

say ₈123.45;   # 173.346315
say ₃₆123.45;  # 3F.G77777

DESCRIPTION

The Slang::NumberBase distribution provides a slang that will interprete literal numeric values that start with subscripted digits ("₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉") as the number base in which the numeric value should be expressed.

So in effect "₈123.45" is short for "123.45.base(8)".

Note that only number bases 2..36 are currently supported, as these are the values that are supported by the base method.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Tom Browder for the idea.
