EMBOSS::GUI - provide web-based access to EMBOSS

=head1 AUTHOR

Luke McCarthy <lukem@gene.pbi.nrc.ca>

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use EMBOSS::GUI;

  $emboss = EMBOSS::GUI->new();
  
  $emboss->intro_page;
  $emboss->about_page;
  $emboss->menu_page;
  $emboss->app_page;
  $emboss->help_page;
  $emboss->default_page;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EMBOSS::GUI provides a simple web-based interface to the EMBOSS suite of
bioinformatics tools.  The distribution should have included a sample CGI
script that wraps the module appropriately.

Alternatively, EMBOSS::GUI can be used to gather information about the local
EMBOSS installation.  Public methods for that purpose are described below:

package EMBOSS::GUI;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Carp;
use CGI;
use File::Basename;
use IPC::Open3;
use Mail::Send;
use Storable;

use EMBOSS::ACD;
use EMBOSS::GUI::Conf;
use EMBOSS::GUI::XHTML;

our $VERSION = 2.10;

our $RELEASE_VERSION = "2.2.0";

=item new(%args)

Returns a new EMBOSS::GUI object.

%args is a hash of optional named arguments.  The following arguments are
%recognized:

=over 4

=item html => $object

Specifies an alternative HTML renderer object to use when generating the web
interface.  See EMBOSS::GUI::XHTML for the methods the replacement object must
implement.
