in reply to RFC: Module for evaluation math. expressions

Programs such as MathCAD call the process "symbolic processing." Wikipedia calls such programs "Computer Algebra Systems."

I note that Math::Symbolic and Math::Algebra::Symbols are both taken... Now you may well have more general aims in mind, but how about Math::Parser::Symbolic?

HTH,

    I know about CAS, but that's not what I'm doing.

    The module does no algebraic calculations, it just defers the evaluation of symbols (but it doesn't simplify, transform etc.).

    That's why I don't want to use terms such as "Symbolic" or "Algebra" in the name, it would be misleading.
