# IF YOU WANT TO TURN ON DEBUG MODE
# (and thus see lots of logging lines that explain how things are happening
# as they happen), set debug_mode = 1.
# If you do, you'll need either:
#   (1) Perl 5.6 (to get Data::Dumper by default), or
#   (2) to have Data::Dumper already installed.
# Data::Dumper is a very, very handy module, but it wasn't in the default Perl
# installation until (I think) Perl 5.6.  Perl 5.005 usually don't have it.
# Look on CPAN.ORG for Data::Dumper if you don't have it.

DEPENDENCIES

    This module requires NO other modules or libraries.
    If you go into the source of Buckaroo.pm and look, you'll see
    there is a debug mode.  If you turn this on, you'll be able to
    watch it as it works.  However, debug mode requires the module
    Data::Dumper, a fantastically useful module that you should
    have by default in Perl installations > 5.6.


DEDICATION

    I'd like to dedicate this module to Mr. Damian Conway, who has bettered
    Perl and the lives of those in the Perl-using community by vast amounts,
    and continues to do good work.  Someday I'd like to buy him a beer.

    The book, by the way, is "Object Oriented Perl", by Damian Conway
