UPDATED: You can now learn inputs with a 0 value. Beware though, it may not learn() a 0 value 
in the input map if you have randomness disabled. See NOTES on using a 0 value with randomness
disabled.

The first two arguments may be array refs (or now, strings), and they may be of different lengths.

Options should be written on hash form. There are three options:
	 
	 inc	=>	$learning_gradient
	 max	=>	$maximum_iterations
	 error	=>	$maximum_allowable_percentage_of_error
	 

$learning_gradient is an optional value used to adjust the weights of the internal
connections. If $learning_gradient is ommitted, it defaults to 0.20.
 
$maximum_iterations is the maximum numbers of iteration the loop should do.
It defaults to 1024.  Set it to 0 if you never want the loop to quit before
the pattern is perfectly learned.

$maximum_allowable_percentage_of_error is the maximum allowable error to have. If 
this is set, then learn() will return when the perecentage difference between the
actual results and desired results falls below $maximum_allowable_percentage_of_error.
If you do not include 'error', or $maximum_allowable_percentage_of_error is set to -1,
then learn() will not return until it gets an exact match for the desired result OR it
reaches $maximum_iterations.


=item $net->learn_set(\@set, [ options ]);

UPDATE: Inputs and outputs in the dataset can now be strings. See information on auto-crunching
in learn()

This takes the same options as learn() and allows you to specify a set to learn, rather
than individual patterns. A dataset is an array refrence with at least two elements in the
array, each element being another array refrence (or now, a scalar string). For each pattern to
