# XML::XPath::Number(3pm)

Simple numeric values.

## NAME

XML::XPath::Number - Simple numeric values.

## DESCRIPTION

This class holds simple numeric values. It doesn't support -0, +/- Infinity, or NaN, as the XPath spec says it should, but I'm not hurting anyone I don't think.

## API

### new($num)

Creates a new XML::XPath::Number object, with the value in `$num`. Does some rudimentary numeric checking on `$num` to ensure it actually is a number.

### value()

Also as overloaded stringification. Returns the numeric value held.
