This module supports simple manipulation of 2D polygons, via two interfaces:
Object Oriented via Math::Polygon
This is the preferred interface: the simplest when you understand OO. The polygon coordinates (ARRAY of points) are wrapped into an abstract objects.
Function interface via Math::Polygon::Calc and friends
When you prefer to use plain functions and ARRAYs of ARRAYs of coordinates.
Development → Release
Important to know, is that I use an extension on POD to write the manuals. The "raw" unprocessed version is visible on GitHub. It will run without problems, but does not contain manual-pages.
Releases to CPAN are different: "raw" documentation gets removed from the code and translated into real POD and clean HTML. This reformatting is implemented with the OODoc distribution (A name I chose before OpenOffice existed, sorry for the confusion)
Clone git for the "raw" version. On github, you can find the processed version for each release. But the better source is CPAN:
sh
cpan -i Math::Polygon
Contributing
When you want to contribute to this module, you do not need to provide a perfect patch... actually: it is nearly impossible to create a patch which I will merge without modification. Usually, I need to adapt the style of code and documentation to my own strict rules.
When you submit an extension, please contribute a set with

code documentation
