in thread Calculations with formatted numbers

Thank you! Exactly what i was looking for!

So i created similar overloads for the other operators (-, *, /, **) that work fine.

But these do not:
#... '++' => sub { $num = ${$_[0]} + 1; return bless \$num, Number::Formatted; }, '--' => sub { $num = ${$_[0]} - 1; return bless \$num, Number::Formatted; },
Any idea why?

    ++ and -- are mutators - see perldoc overload. This is how to implement them:

    package Number::Formatted; use Number::Format; my $format = new Number::Format ( thousands_sep => '.', decimal_point => ',' ); use overload '""' => sub { $format->format_number( ${$_[0]} ) }, '+' => sub { my $num = ref( $_[1] ) ? ${$_[1]} : $_[1]; $num = ${$_[0]} + $num; $num = - $num if $_[2]; return bless \$num, Number::Formatted; }, '-' => sub { my $num = ref( $_[1] ) ? ${$_[1]} : $_[1]; $num = ${$_[0]} - $num; $num = - $num if $_[2]; return bless \$num, Number::Formatted; }, '++' => sub { ++ ${$_[0]}; shift }, '--' => sub { -- ${$_[0]}; shift }, ; sub new { my $num = $format->unformat_number( $_[1] ); return bless \$num, $_[0]; } package main; my $n = new Number::Formatted ( '1.234,56' ); my $m = new Number::Formatted ( '123,45' ); print $n, "\n"; print $n + 10, "\n"; print $n + $m, "\n"; print $n - $m, "\n"; print ++$n, "\n"; # 1.234,56 # 1.244,56 # 1.358,01 # 1.111,11 # 1.235,56
