NAME Number::DataRate - Convert data rate to bits or bytes per second SYNOPSIS # Bluetooth 2.0+EDR has a data rate of 3000 kbit/s, but what is that # in bits and bytes per second? use Number::DataRate; my $data_rate = Number::DataRate->new; my $bits_per_second = $data_rate->to_bits_per_second('3000 kbit/s'); my $bytes_per_second = $data_rate->to_bytes_per_second('3000 kbit/s'); DESCRIPTION This module convers data rate to bits or bytes per second. For far more than you ever wanted to know about data rates, see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units This module accepts a wide range of formats, for example: 0.045 kbit/s 0.045 kbps 5.625Byte/s 24,576 kbit/s 54.0 Mbit/s 6.4 Gbit/s 1.28Tbit/s AUTHOR Leon Brocard .
