=head1 NAME

Number::Compare - numeric comparisons

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 Number::Compare->new(">1Ki")->test(1025); # is 1025 > 1024

 my $c = Number::Compare->new(">1M");
 $c->(1_200_000);                          # slightly terser invocation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Number::Compare compiles a simple comparison to an anonymous
subroutine, which you can call with a value to be tested again.

Now this would be very pointless, if Number::Compare didn't understand
magnitudes.

The target value may use magnitudes of kilobytes (C<k>, C<ki>),
megabytes (C<m>, C<mi>), or gigabytes (C<g>, C<gi>).  Those suffixed
with an C<i> use the appropriate 2**n version in accordance with the
IEC standard: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html

=head1 METHODS

=head2 ->new( $test )

Returns a new object that compares the specified test.

=head2 ->test( $value )

A longhanded version of $compare->( $value ).  Predates blessed
subroutine reference implementation.

=head2 ->parse_to_perl( $test )

Returns a perl code fragment equivalent to the test.
