Script::Toolbox version 0.09
============================

This module is intended to make the life a litle bit easier for all of us
who have to write daily a "small" script. Every time the same procedure, 
the script needs some options, a usage message, deals with some files and
directories, needs a logfile and so on. Before you can say knife the "small"
script will become a "big" script.

This module offers:

- Mandatory and optionaly commandline options (based on GetOpt::Long).
- Automated generation of usage messages.
- Automated display of the online manual (-help).
- Simple read/write of entire files to/from memory.
- Simple read of directory listings.
- Simple logging .
- Automated logging of criticaly exceptions.
- Simple automated formatting of tabular data like CSV or such you can get.
  from selectall_arrayref() and selectall_hashref()  from the DBI module.
- Simple usage of temporary files.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:
