Subject: [PATCH] perlfunc.pod: atan2(0,0) returns 0, not undef

+Note that atan2(0, 0) is not well-defined, however the Perl
+implmentation returns C<0> for this value.
No... the Perl implementation of atan2() returns whatever the underlying
math library returns for atan2(). And that varies. atan2(0,0) can
return at least zero or NaN(Q).
Either change Perl to always return zero, or keep the correct documentation.
