Data-Money
The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on how to
install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for example C compilers
and installed libraries) and any other information that should be provided before
the module is installed.
A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the README file
from a module distribution so that people browsing the archive can use it to get
an idea of the module's uses. It is usually a good idea to provide version
information here so that people can decide whether fixes for the module are worth
downloading.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This module was originally based on Data::Currency by Christopher H. Laco but I
opted to fork and create a whole new module because my work was wildly different
from the original.I decided it was better to make a new module than to break back
compat and surprise users. Many thanks to him for the great module.
Inspiration and ideas were also drawn from Math::Currency and Math::BigFloat.
Major contributions from Andrew Nelson "<anelson@cpan.org>".
