# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

perl-set-intspan: Set::IntSpan - manage sets of integers.
perl-set-intspan: Set::IntSpan manages sets of integers. It is optimized for sets that
perl-set-intspan: have long runs of consecutive integers. These arise, for example, in
perl-set-intspan: .newsrc files, which maintain lists of articles:
perl-set-intspan:    alt.foo: 1-21,28,31
perl-set-intspan:    alt.bar: 1-14192,14194,14196-14221
perl-set-intspan: Sets are stored internally in a run-length coded form. This provides
perl-set-intspan: for both compact storage and efficient computation. In particular,
perl-set-intspan: set operations can be performed directly on the encoded
perl-set-intspan: representation.
