2This is Math::Units 1.3, the second official release of a powerful
3unit conversion system written completely in Perl. This module
4has been tested fairly well using the GNU units program as a
5baseline. Although unit conversion is conceptually simple, there
6are lots of places where bugs can hide. THIS SOFTWARE DOES NOT HAVE
7A WARRANTY! If you use this software, please verify that the units
8you are converting are correctly handled. If you find a bug in
9either the code or the conversion tables, please send them to me
10as soon as possible and I will publish a correction immediately.
