What's new in this version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Changes from version 0.01 are:
. The PLL file now comes in 2 versions, one for Perl version 5.001 (build 110)
and one for Perl version 5.003 (build 300 and higher, EXCEPT 304).
. Added an installation program which will automatically copy the right files
in the right place.
. Added an object-oriented programming approach.

Usage
^^^^^
Put this line at the beginning of your Perl scripts:

use Win32::Clipboard;

And then play with the following functions (I believe they are
self-explanatory):

$text = Win32::Clipboard::Get();
Win32::Clipboard::Set("blah blah blah");
Win32::Clipboard::Empty();

Alternatively, you can use the clipboard as an object with this syntax:

$Clip = Win32::Clipboard();
$text = $Clip->Get();
$Clip->Set("blah blah blah");
$Clip->Empty();

Note that creating the object with a parameter automatically sets
the clipboard content to that value:

$Clip = Win32::Clipboard("blah blah blah");
