For the fellow monks that don't remember, some time ago I asked What is the Perl Color?, and got some interesting answers.

Today I was playing with 'units', a small program that makes big units conversions, and this is what I've found with my curiosity:

monsieur_champs:(1)$ units
1991 units, 71 prefixes, 32 nonlinear units
You have: 1 perl
You want: centimeters
        * 0.1880325
        / 5.3182296
You have: 1 perl 
You want: milimeters
        * 1.880325
        / 0.53182296
You have: 1 perl
You want: nanometers
        * 1880325
        / 5.3182296e-07
You have: 1 perl
You want: inches
        * 0.074028543
        / 13.508303

Update: broquaint told me folks using the Dark Theme can't see the table. I dropped the background color to easy the look. Thank you, broquaint.

"In few words, translating PerlMonks documentation and best articles to other languages is like building a bridge to join other Perl communities into PerlMonks family. This makes the family bigger, the knowledge greater, the parties better and the life easier." -- monsieur_champs
