Fame and Riches Step 1

What is step one? Contributing to CPAN of course.

I had been thinking about writing some myself but Mark has created a fine set of programs. My only wish was to have them read the AWS parameters from a config file. So I added the ability to read the settings using Getopt::ArgvFile and sent a patch to Mark. He accepted my patch and now that he's posted his module to CPAN I have achieved the first step of my plans.

Last weekend I went away to Deer Harbor on Orcas Island. The private cottage, hot tub and view were wonderful. I took advantage of the lack of phones, television and internet access to focus on finishing Math::IntervalNumber. The code is done. The documentation has been written. I plan on polishing the test suite and releasing the module this week. That's step two.

Step three? I'm not sure. Maybe Math::SurrealNumber.
