TOM Kit, Version 2.04 (AlphaThree)
----------------------------------
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.

This release of Tom pulls a couple of things together that haven't been
entirely solid.  Safe, Agent, and Tom now work together far better than
before.  The Makefile.PL has also been fixed since 2.03, which allows people
to actually install the module.

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
[email protected] using the standard subscribe [email protected]
syntax.  You can send mail to the list at [email protected].

The other way to get help is to send mail directly to me:
