NAME Games::Go::Rank - Represents a player's rank in the game of Go VERSION version 1.100860 SYNOPSIS use Games::Go::Rank; my $black_rank = Games::Go::Rank->new(rank => '1k'); my $white_rank = Games::Go::Rank->new(rank => '2d'); if ($white_rank > $black_rank) { # ... } DESCRIPTION This class represents a player's rank in the game of Go. Rank objects can be compared to see whether two ranks are equal or whether one rank is higher than the other. Rank objects stringify to the rank notation. Use the standard notation for ranks such as "30k", "5k", "1d", "2p" and so on. You can also use other common formats such as "6-dan" or "2 dan". Anything after the first "k", "d" or "p" is ignored. So "6-dan*" is the same as "6-dan", which is the same as "6d". METHODS as_value Returns a number representing the rank. "1k" is returned as 0, lower kyu ranks are returned as negative numbers ("2K" is -1, "3k" is -2 etc.). Dan ranks are returned as positive numbers, with pro ranks coming immediately after dan ranks. For example, "1d" == 1, "7d" == 7, "1p" == 8, "2p" == 9. Only dan ranks up to 7d are recognized as amateur ranks - that is, "8d" == "1p". from_value Sets the rank from a numerical value that is interpreted as described above. num_cmp FIXME stringify FIXME INSTALLATION See perlmodinstall for information and options on installing Perl modules.
