  Description     : Perl Module to handle 3D Vector Mathematics

The Math::VectorReal package defines a 3D mathematical "vector", in a way that is 
compatible with the previous CPAN module Math::MatrixReal. However it provides a more 
vector oriented set of mathematical functions and overload operators, to the MatrixReal 
package. For example the normal perl string functions "x" and "." have been overloaded 
to allow vector cross and dot product operations. Vector math formula thus looks like 
vector math formula in perl programs using this package.

While this package is compatible with Math::MatrixReal, you DO NOT need to have that 
package to perform purely vector orientated calculations. You will need it however if 
you wish to do matrix operations with these vectors. The interface has been designed 
with this package flexibility in mind.
