Re: Math::Matrix anyone? (source)

You do realize that you have full access to the source code, right?

sub cross_product {
  my $vectors = shift;
  my $class = ref($vectors);

  my $dimensions = @{$vectors->[0]};
  return undef
    unless $dimensions == @$vectors + 1;
[download]

indicates that cross_product() expects to receive a single (blessed) matrix that contains the vectors to be ~~productized~~multiplied.

I'm not saying that this access excuses unclear documentation, of course. But I suspect you can use the source to answer your own questions faster then you'll get answers from someone else. Producing a patch for the module might be a good result of your investigation.

I know, I know. I gave the source code a quick look, didn't quite understand all of what it was doing (being a lowly noobie perl programmer) and begged for help here. Maybe if I have time I'll go back and play around with it. Thanks. Ryan	[reply]

The comment by tye translates into the syntax for your example: `$a = new Math::Matrix ([1], [2], [3]); $x = new Math::Matrix ([4], [5], [6]); $f=new Math::Matrix([1, 2, 3],[4, 5, 6]); $f=$f->cross_product;` [download] Kind of a bizarre syntax. Thanks for everyone who's posted here for helping me put the pieces together to sort this out. I don't know how to write a patch, or I would do so...	[reply] [d/l]
