NAME
    Number::DataRate - Convert data rate to bits or bytes per second

SYNOPSIS
      # Bluetooth 2.0+EDR has a data rate of 3000 kbit/s, but what is that
      # in bits and bytes per second?
      use Number::DataRate;
      my $data_rate = Number::DataRate->new;
      my $bits_per_second = $data_rate->to_bits_per_second('3000 kbit/s');
      my $bytes_per_second = $data_rate->to_bytes_per_second('3000 kbit/s');

DESCRIPTION
    This module convers data rate to bits or bytes per second. For far more
    than you ever wanted to know about data rates, see Wikipedia:

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units

    This module accepts a wide range of formats, for example:

      0.045 kbit/s
      0.045 kbps
      5.625Byte/s
      24,576 kbit/s
      54.0 Mbit/s
      6.4 Gbit/s
      1.28Tbit/s
