Name
    Class::Usul - A base class other packages

Version
    Describes Class::Usul version 0.1.$Revision: 205 $

Synopsis
       use Class::Usul::Moose;

       extends qw(Class::Usul);

Description
    These modules provide a set of base classes for Perl packages and
    applications

Configuration and Environment
       $self = Class::Usul->new( $attr );

    The $attr argument is a hash ref containing the object attributes.

    config
       The "config" attribute should be a hash ref that may define key/value
       pairs that provide filesystem paths for the temporary directory etc.

    debug
       Defaults to false

    encoding
       Decode input and encode output. Defaults to "UTF-8"

    Defined the application context log. Defaults to a Class::Null object

Subroutines/Methods
  dumper
       $self->dumper( $some_var );

    Use Data::Printer to dump arguments for development purposes

  loc
       $local_text = $self->loc( $key, \%options );

    Localizes the message. Calls "localize" in Class::Usul::L10N. Adds the
    constant "DEFAULT_L10N_DOMAINS" to the list of domain files that are
    searched

  _build__lock
    Defines the lock object. This instantiates on first use

    An IPC::SRLock object which is used to single thread the application
    where required. This is a singleton object. Provides defaults for and
    returns a new IPC::SRLock object. The keys of the
    "$self->config->lock_attributes" hash are:

    debug
       Debug status. Defaults to "$self->debug"

    log
       Logging object. Defaults to "$self->log"

    tempdir
       Directory used to store the lock file and lock table if the "fcntl"
       backend is used. Defaults to "$self->config->tempdir"

Diagnostics
    Setting the *debug* attribute to true causes messages to be logged at
    the debug level
