Idiom #268 User-defined operator

Define a type vector containing three floating point numbers x, y, and z. Write a user-defined operator x that calculates the cross product of two vectors a and b.

package Vector {
    sub new {
        my ($class, $x, $y, $z) = @_;
        bless [$x,$y,$z], $class;

    sub x { shift->[0] };
    sub y { shift->[1] };
    sub z { shift->[2] };
    
    use overload 'x' => sub { shift->xprod(shift) };

    sub xprod {
        my ($self,$v) = @_;
        return Vector->new(
            $self->y * $v->z - $self->z * $v->y,
            $self->z * $v->x - $self->x * $v->z,
