Yeah, I'm interested in that topic.  I was just looking on
CPAN today for a module that would calculate volume
in a partially filled horizontal vessel with elliptical ends.
I was surprised I couldn't find one.  I did find
Math-Volume-Rotational-0.11.tar.gz, but didn't want
to start that basic.

Anyway, I'm mildly interested in knowing how to write
a module for mass consumption.  I've written 2-3 for
myself, but haven't followed all the rules on those.
