B<Description:> Sets or retrieves the type of the parameter. Allowable "types"
are: ARRAY, DIR, FILE, and the default, PARAM.

B<Parameters:> An optional scalar, $type.

B<Returns:> If called as a getter (no-arguments), returns the current type.
If called as a setter, nothing is returned (undef).

=item $obj->value([$value]);

B<Description:> A getter/setter that is used to set and retrieve the "value" of
a Grid::Request parameter. Grid::Request jobs may specified an executable to run
on the grid, and the executable may have or require one or more arguments (such as
those typically specified on the command line). These arguments are modeled with
the Grid::Request::Param module. Simple parameters do not trigger any iteration,
however, parameters of type "ARRAY", "DIR", and "FILE", trigger iterations, and
subsequently grid jobs that perform "parameter sweep" (sometimes referred to as
"array jobs").

B<Parameters:> None.

B<Returns:> If called as a getter (no-arguments), returns the current value
of the parameter. If called as a setter, nothing is returned (undef).

    $logger->debug("In value.");

    } else {
        return $self->{_value};
    }
}


=item $obj->key([$key]);

B<Description:> For each parameter, the key is what tells how the parameter
should be passed as a command line argument and how the values from the iterable
directory, array or file are to be dropped into the argument. Parameter keys can
make use of two tokens: $(Index) and $(Name). The $(Index) token is replaced at
with the actual sequence number of the job on the grid, and the $(Name) token
is replaced with the string taken from the iterable value. In the case of parameters
of type

    FILE  -> $(Name) is replaced with the string from the line in the file
    ARRAY -> $(Name) is replaced with the value of the element of the array
    DIR   -> $(Name) is replaced with the name of the file in the directory 

Examples: 

   FILE
    # From the constructor
    Grid::Request::Param->new( type => "FILE",
                               key  => '--string=$(Name)',
                               value => "/path/to/some/file.txt" )

   DIR
      $param = Grid::Request::Param->new();
      $param->type("DIR");
      $param->key('--filepath=$(Name)');
      $param->value("/path/to/some/directory");

   ARRAY
      $param = Grid::Request::Param->new();
      $param->type("ARRAY");
      $param->key('--element=$(Name)');
      $param->value(\@array);

B<Parameters:> None.

B<Returns:> A non-negative integer scalar.

    my ($self, @args) = @_;

    } else {
        return $self->{_key};
    }
}

=item $obj->count();

B<Description:> Retrieves the number of iterations that this parameter will
trigger. For parameters of type "ARRAY", it will be the nubmer of array
elements, for parameters of type "DIR", it will be the number of non-hidden
files in the specified directory; for parameters of type "FILE", it will the
number of lines in the file (with the exception of lines with nothing but
whitespace). 

B<Parameters:> None.

B<Returns:> A non-negative integer scalar.
