Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

This class is a subclass of Number::WithError. It provides the same
interface and the same exports.
It adds several methods to every object. The main functionality is
provided by latex(), which dumps the object as valid LaTeX code. Also,
encode() is a convenient way to encode any UTF-8 string into TeX. It is
just a convenience thing since it is delegated to TeX::Encode.
Unlike Number::WithError, this module requires perl version 5.8 or later.
(That is the rationale for creating a separate distribution, too.)
