I'm re-writing a lot of the "odd" bits. Rob, the origional author, is 
an 
academic, where I'm a sys-support/admin/hacker. I'm attempting to rebuild
it as OO as possible too, since a few other sarcy comments from Tim Brody
<grin>. I've not been into the doc submission method bit which seems
very strange, but I've had a crack at most of the rest.

One of the reasons to make the code much more strict is the problems with
running multiple copies on one instance of modperl (name space conflicts etc).

Hopefully the new version will be a bit easier to work with. Credit to Rob
though, the good bits are very good.
