Template::Plugin::Math - Plugin providing mathematical functions
SYNOPSIS
[% USE Math %]

METHODS
"Template::Plugin::Math" makes available the following functions from the Perl core:
abs
atan2
cos
exp
hex
int

oct
rand
sin
sqrt
srand
In addition, if the Math::Trig module can be loaded, the following functions are also available:

acosech
asech
acoth
acotanh
rad2deg
rad2grad
deg2rad

Template::Plugin::CGI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Template::Plugin::CGI(3pm)NAME
Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI module
SYNOPSIS
[% USE CGI %]
[% CGI.param('parameter') %]
[% USE things = CGI %]
[% things.param('name') %]
# see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object
DESCRIPTION
This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin interface to the "CGI" module. A "CGI" object will be instantiated via the following
directive:
[% USE CGI %]
"CGI" methods may then be called as follows:
[% CGI.header %]
[% CGI.param('parameter') %]
An alias can be used to provide an alternate name by which the object should be identified.
[% USE mycgi = CGI %]
[% mycgi.start_form %]
[% mycgi.popup_menu({ Name => 'Color'
Values => [ 'Green' 'Black' 'Brown' ] }) %]
Parenthesised parameters to the "USE" directive will be passed to the plugin constructor:
[% USE cgiprm = CGI('uid=abw&name=Andy+Wardley') %]
[% cgiprm.param('uid') %]
METHODS
In addition to all the methods supported by the "CGI" module, this plugin defines the following.
params()
This method returns a reference to a hash of all the "CGI" parameters. Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists.
[% USE CGI('user=abw&item=foo&item=bar') %]
[% CGI.params.user %] # abw
[% CGI.params.item.join(', ') %] # foo, bar

I'm look for some opinion on mathematical software from any engineers out there. What is the open source application that --in your opinion(s) -- best meets the same requirements as Mathematica or Maple?
I'm running FreeBSD & Linux, btw. (3 Replies)
