Subject: Soporific and unhelpful documentaton
I was going to rate this module one star but decided to make this a bug instead. To some users modules are not worth more than their documentation. This "universal" module should get a _much_ better one.

Not sure this is a bug, was there documentation you expected to have? What are you trying to do and don't understand from the documentation?

I have been looking over some of your modules and I think I understand what you were trying to use my package for. The package I wrote requires a hash with 3 code references. cmp_values add_one sub_one cmp_values is used to compare 2 objects Example: sub cmp_values { $_[0] <=> $_[1] } so given cmp_values(0,1) cmp_values would return -1 add_one is used to calculate the next value, effectively this value +1 or what ever really makes this the next value. sub add_one { $_[0] + 1 } so given add_one(1) add_one would return 2 sub_one is used to calculate the previous value, effectively this value -1 or what ever really makes this the previous value. Since you are manipulating binary data, you would have to understand how to calculate your next binary value. Since I'm not really sure what you're data really is, I can't really suggest code to handle the needed operations. At any rate, I have updated my documentation as of release Data-Range-Compare-1.018.tar.gz To help define the pre-requisites for the constructor call. I have also added an example with DateTime, that may help explain how to do what you are trying to do. See Data::Range::Compare::Cookbook::Recipe_DateTime As of this post, I'm still waiting for cpan to copy over my updated code.
The documentation has been extended to better explain how to use this package. Please see: Data::Range::Compare::Cookbook
