Are you certain your sample point is inside the polygon? In a case like this it is useful to provide a simple case to test your logic:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Math::Geometry::Planar;
my $polygon = Math::Geometry::Planar->new;
my $points = [[0,0],
[1,0],
[1,1],
[0,1],
];
$polygon->points($points) ;
print "Perimeter:",$polygon->perimeter,"\n" ;
print "Area: ",$polygon->area,"\n" ;
for my $point ( [.725,.396], [2,3], [1,1] ) {
if ($polygon->isinside($point)) {
print "point @{$point} is inside\n" ;
}else{
print "point @{$point} is outside\n" ;
}
}
produces the expected
Perimeter:4
Area: 1
point 0.725 0.396 is inside
point 2 3 is outside
point 1 1 is outside

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
