Re: Math::Round::Var::round() takes no action when a number is not supplied

It seems to raise a perfectly valid exception for me:

sub round {
    my $self = shift;
    my $rnd = $self->{precision};
    my $number = shift;
    return(sprintf("%0.${rnd}f", $number));
};;

print round( {precision=>3}, 1.23456 );;
1.235

print round( {precision=>3}, 1 );;
1.000

print round( {precision=>3} );;
Use of uninitialized value $number in sprintf at ...
0.000

(Though quite why you'd use a module for this is beyond me?)

In my eyes, the number argument is required and not passing it should throw an exception. The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development. -- Terence Parr, "Enforcing Strict Model View Separation in Template Engines"	[reply]
