Perl module that will create sorting networks Maintained by:perl@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 28 Oct 2003 15:31:42 Also Listed In:perl5 License: ART10 GPLv1
This module will create sorting networks, a sequence of comparisons
that do not depend upon the results of prior comparisons.
There are several algorithms to generate sorting networks. This
module has three of them: Bose and Nelson's, Hibbard's, and
Batcher's Merge Exchange. It also has networks that were found
to be superior in comparison count to those generated automatically
by these algorithms.
There is a flexible formatting function that will allow you to
print out your network in many ways (see documentation). There
is also a graphical output function that will return the network
in an encapsulated postscript, SVG, or text form.

The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
- Take advantage of CPAN macro from bsd.sites.mk, change
${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} to CPAN.
