Hello nuns and monks!

Seemingly there is no Perl module that provides an interface to the GNU Linear Programming Kit (GLPK). Actually, its usage is not that easy as there lots of functions that have to be combined in the proper way. However, the Octave project managed to design an universal interface to GLPK in a single function.

So I thought about porting this interface to Perl and finally managed to implement it. The Octave implementation was a great help in this task as the core function that orchestrates the GLPK functions could be reused as-is. You can find my first attempt at GitHub.

I'd be glad to hear some opinions about this module, and I have a question: What is the policy for publishing a module on CPAN into an existing namespace hierarchy? I named the module PDL::Opt::GLPK, but I'm not sure if I need some consent to publish it.

Edit: Added GLPK link
