Comment (by cal):

 Can that be made more clear in your documentation. Perl programmers tend
 to adapt things to unexpected uses - well any programmer really.

 Also unfortunate as I needed to do a stand alone script.

 Also, its a very bad idea to not have at least a stub module up on CPAN as
 when the modules get installed they are in the same @INC tree as
 everything else. Alternative would be to tell people to add a "use lib"
 statement to some standard install dir.
