NAME
       XML::LibXML::Number - Simple numeric values.

DESCRIPTION
       This class holds simple numeric values. It doesn't support -0, +/- Infinity, or NaN, as the XPath spec says it should, but I'm not hurting
       anyone I don't think.

API
   new($num)
       Creates a new XML::LibXML::Number object, with the value in $num. Does some rudimentary numeric checking on $num to ensure it actually is a
       number.

   value()
       Also as overloaded stringification. Returns the numeric value held.
