&lt;p&gt;I searched CPAN and found no such module.  I then wrote a module which defines the vertices, edges and faces for a variety of commonly useful polyhedra, such as cubes and rhombic dodecahedra.

&lt;p&gt;The basic data for my module came from someone else's site, [http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/Lynn/Coordinates/coord01.html], and I've gotten his permission to publish a Perl module based on it.  My home node image was made with Perl + [cpan://SDL::OpenGL] + Math::Polyhedra at work.

&lt;p&gt;I'm proposing the &lt;code&gt;Math::Polyhedra&lt;/code&gt; name, unless someone gives me a good reason otherwise.  The code is almost done; I just need to finish up the faces() function and touch up the POD.

&lt;p&gt;Future expansions would be to support a few other figures, but all of the ones currently supported are defined by &lt;i&gt;phi&lt;/i&gt;, the Golden Ratio.
