=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module implements a Genetic Algorithm (GA) in pure Perl.
Other Perl modules that achieve the same thing (perhaps better,
perhaps worse) do exist. Please check CPAN. I mainly wrote this
module to satisfy my own needs, and to learn something about GAs
along the way.

B<PLEASE NOTE:> As of v0.02, AI::Genetic has been re-written from
scratch to be more modular and expandable. To achieve this, I had
to modify the API, so it is not backward-compatible with v0.01.
As a result, I do not plan on supporting v0.01.

I will not go into the details of GAs here, but here are the
bare basics. Plenty of information can be found on the web.

In a GA, a population of individuals compete for survival. Each
individual is designated by a set of genes that define its
behaviour. Individuals that perform better (as defined by the
fitness function) have a higher chance of mating with other
