TOM Kit, Version 2.02 (Final Release) ----------------------------- TOM allows you contain objects within a TOM object. This TOM object can then be flattened into a general container which can be passed from machine to machine. The objects stored inside the container can be used on any machine with both Perl and Tom installed. TOM has now been uploaded to CPAN, and some changes have been made because of this. It is now known as Class::Tom. This is mainly to preserve registered top-level heirarchies. TOM is first updated at it's web page, which is located at http://www.hawk.igs.net/~jduncan/Tom. Info about upcoming releases, bug fixes, etc can be found there. If you find a bug please don't hesitate to fix and send the patch to me :-) If you just let me know where the bug crops up however, it should be plenty enough for me. A mailing list out there is appropriate for discussing Tom. Subscribe to perl5-agents-request@daft.com using the standard subscribe fred@foobar.com syntax. You can send mail to the list at perl5-agents@daft.com. The other way to get help is to send mail directly to me: James Duncan
