🏛️ NAME 🏛️

okay bestie, listen — Roman is the module, and it's literally just functions for converting between Roman and Arabic numerals. that's the whole vibe. it's giving ancient Rome meets modern perl. 💅

so the manual name is Roman(3pm), in case you were wondering what page you're on 🫶

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 1.24 — that's the one, no cap. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay here's the whole thing in action, look:

use Roman;

$arabic = arabic($roman) if isroman($roman);
$roman = Roman($arabic);
$roman = roman($arabic);

see? three little lines and you're converting like a main character 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this package ships some functions that help you convert numeric notation back and forth between Roman and Arabic. that's it, that's the gig. it's a tiny little module and honestly? iconic for it. 🌸

🌈 Functions

🔥 isroman

Tests if argument is valid roman number. like a little vibe check for your numeral, fr fr.

💜 arabic

roman => arabic. goes one way, slays while doing it.

⭐ Roman

arabic => roman. goes the other way. also slays.

🌈 roman

Same as Roman, lowercase. lowercase bestie, lowercase energy, we love to see it. 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so, heads up, this is the part where you pay attention:

  • Domain of valid Roman numerals is limited to less than 4000, since proper Roman digits for the rest are not available in ASCII. so like. past 3999 there's just... nothing. ASCII said no. 😭
  • Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-roman /AT/ rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Roman. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes. (yes, the author WILL know. they'll be notified. then YOU'll be notified. a whole little chain of notifying. we love accountability ✨)

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

sibling modules, the whole Roman-numeral cinematic universe:

  • Text::Roman — also handles conversion between Arabic and Roman numerals, but can handle a larger range than this module. overachiever behavior tbh.
  • Math::Roman — another module for converting between Arabic and Roman numerals.
  • Convert::Number::Roman — handles the same conversion, but also lets you specify upper or lower case. fancy 💅
  • Roman::Unicode — make Roman numerals, using Unicode characters. unicode girlies rise 🧚
