This function creates a new instance of the TIGR::Foundation
object.  A reference pointing to the object is returned on success.  Otherwise,
this method returns undefined.

=item $value = $obj_instance->getProgramInfo($field_type);

This function returns field values for specified field types describing
attributes of the program.  The C<$field_type> parameter must be a listed
attribute: C<name>, C<invocation>, C<env_path>, C<abs_path>.
The C<name> field specifies the bare name of the executable.  The
C<invocation> field specifies the command line arguments passed to the
executable.   The C<env_path> value returns the environment path to the
working directory.  The C<abs_path> value specifies the absolute path to the
working directory.  If C<env_path> is found to be inconsistent, then that
value will return the C<abs_path> value.  If an invalid C<$field_type> is 
passed, the function returns undefined.

=item $exit_code = $obj_instance->runCommand($command_str);

This function passes the argument C<$command_str> to /bin/sh
for processing.  The return value is the exit code of the 
C<$command_str>.  If the exit code is not defined, then either the signal or
core dump value of the execution is returned, whichever is applicable.  Perl
variables C<$?> and C<$!> are set accordingly.  If C<$command_str> is not 
defined, this function returns undefined.  Log messages are recorded at log
level 4 to indicate the type of exit status and the corresponding code.
Invalid commands return -1.

# Functional Class : depend

The C<printDependInfo()> function prints the dependency list created by
C<addDependInfo()>.  One item is printed per line.

=item $obj_instance->addDependInfo(@depend_list);

The C<addDependInfo()> function adds C<@depend_list> information
to the dependency list.  If C<@depend_list> is empty, the internal
dependency list is emptied.  Contents of C<@depend_list> are not checked
for validity (eg. they can be composed entirely of white space or
multiple files per record).  The first undefined record in C<@depend_list>
halts reading in of dependency information.

This function accepts a single scalar parameter containing a path name.  If
the C<$path_name> is creatable this function returns 1. The function checks 
if the directory hierarchy of the path is creatable or writable by the
effective user id (EUID).  This function calls itself recursively until
an existing directory node is found.  If that node is writable, ie. the path
can be created in it, then this function returns 1.  Otherwise, the function
returns 0.  This function also returns zero if the C<$path_name> supplied
is disconnected from a reachable directory tree on the file system.
If the path already exists, this function returns 0.  The C<$path_name> may
imply either a path to a file or a directory.  Path names may be relative or
absolute paths.  Any unresolvable relative paths will return 0 as well.  This
includes paths with F<..> back references to nonexistent directories.
This function is recursive whereas C<isCreatableFile()> and 
C<isCreatableDir()> are not.

compatibility with C<GetOptions()>, and will accept a second parameter
the debug level, provided it is an integer.  In such cases, the first parameter
is checked only if the second parameter is invalid.  By default, the default

This function sets the log file name for the C<logLocal()> function.
B<The programmer should call this function before invoking C<setDebugLevel()>>
if the default log file is not to be used.  The function takes one parameter,
C<$log_file>, which defines the new log file name.  If a log file is already
open, it is closed.  The old log file is not truncated or deleted.
Future calls to C<logLocal()> or C<bail()> will log to C<$log_file> if it
is successfully opened.  If the new log file is not successfully opened, 
the function will try to open the default log file, F<program_name.log>.
If that file cannot be opened, F</tmp/program_name.$process_id.log> will
be used.  If no log file argument is passed, the function will try to open
the default log file.  This function is C<GetOptions()> aware; it will accept
two parameters, using the second one as the log file and ignoring the first if
and only if two parameters are passed.  Any other usage specifies the first
parameter as the log file name.

=item $obj_instance->logAppend($log_append_flag);

The C<logAppend()> function takes either C<0> or C<1> as a flag to 
disable or enable log file appending.  By default, log files are 
truncated at the start of program execution or logging.  Error files are
controlled by this variable as well.  Invalid or undefined calls are ignored.
Calling this function with a C<0> argument after the log files have started
to be written may cause them to be truncated undesirably.  This function is
C<GetOptions()> compliant; if 2 and only 2 variables are passed, the second
option is treated as C<$log_append_flag>.

=item $obj_instance->logLocal($log_message, $log_level);

The C<logLocal()> function takes two arguments.  The C<$log_message>
argument specifies the message to be written to the log file.  The
C<$log_level> argument specifies the level at which C<$log_message> is printed.
The active level of logging is set via the C<setDebugLevel()> function.
Only messages at C<$log_level> less than or equal to the active debug
level are logged.  The default debug level is undefined.  Note, a trailing
new line, if it exists, is stripped from the log message.

=item $obj_instance->logError($log_message,$flag);

The C<logError()> function takes two arguments, the second one being optional. 
The C<$log_message> argument specifies the message to be written to the error 
file. If the C<$flag> argument is defined and is non-zero, the C<$log_message>
is also written to STDERR. The C<$log_message> is also passed to C<logLocal>.
A message passed via logError() will always get logged to the log file 
regardles of the debug level.  Note, a trailing new line, if it exists, is 
stripped from the log message.

The C<bail()> function takes a single required argument.  The C<$log_message>
argument specifies the message to be passed to C<logLocal()> and displayed
to the screen in using the C<warn> function.  All messages passed to C<bail()>
are logged regardless of the debug level.  The C<bail()> function
calls C<exit(1)> to terminate the program.  Optionally, a second positive
integer argument can be passed as the exit code to use.  Note, a trailing
new line, if it exists, is stripped from the end of the line.

# Functional Class : modified methods

=item $getopts_error_code = $obj_instance->TIGR_GetOptions(@getopts_arguments);

This function extends C<Getopt::Long::GetOptions()>.  It may be used
as C<GetOptions()> is used.  Extended functionality eliminates the need
to C<eval {}> the block of code containing the function.  Further, TIGR
standard options, such as C<-help>, are defined implicitly.  Using this
function promotes proper module behavior.  Log and error files from 
previous runs are removed if the log file append option, C<-appendlog>,
is not set to 1.

The following options are defined by this function:

=over

=item -appendlog APPEND_FLAG

Passing '1' to this argument turns on log file appending.

=item -debug DEBUG_LEVEL

Set debugging to DEBUG_LEVEL.

=item -logfile LOG_FILE_NAME

Set the default TIGR Foundation log file to LOG_FILE_NAME.

=item -version, -V

Print version information and exit.

=item -help, -h

Print help information and exit.

=item -depend

Print dependency information and exit.

=back

Regular C<GetOptions()> may still be used, however the C<TIGR_GetOptions()>
function eliminates some of the confusing issues with setting log files
and debug levels.  B<The options defined by C<TIGR_GetOptions()> cannot be
overridden or recorded>.  To get the log file and debug level after parsing
the command line, use C<getLogFile()> and C<getDebugLevel()>.  C<GetOptions()>
default variables, ie. those of the form C<$opt_I<optionname>>, are not
supported.  This function will return 1 on success.

=head1 USAGE

To use this module, load the C<TIGR::Foundation> package
via the C<use> function.  Then, create a new instance of the
object via the C<new()> method, as shown below.  If applicable,
C<START> and C<FINISH> log messages are printed when the object
is created and destroyed, respectively.  It is advisable to 
keep the instance of the object in scope for the whole program
to achieve maximum functionality.

An example script using this module follows:

   use strict;
   use TIGR::Foundation;

   my $tfobject = new TIGR::Foundation;

   MAIN: 
   {
      # The following dependencies are not used in
      # this script, but are provided as an example.

      my @DEPEND = ("/usr/bin/tee", "/sbin/stty");

      # The user defined $VERSION variable is usable by Perl.
      # The auto defined $REVISION variable stores the RCS/CVS revision
      # The user defined $VERSION_STRING reports both.

      my $VERSION = '1.0';
      my $REVISION = (qw$Revision: 1.1.1.1 $)[-1];
      my $VERSION_STRING = "$VERSION (Build $REVISION)";

      my $HELP_INFO = "This is my help\n";

      # All of the necessary information must be passed
      # to the foundation object instance, as below.

      $tfobject->addDependInfo(@DEPEND);
      $tfobject->setVersionInfo($VERSION_STRING);
      $tfobject->setHelpInfo($HELP_INFO);

      my $input_file;
      my $output_file;

      $tfobject->TIGR_GetOptions("input=s" => \$input_file,
                                 "output=s" => \$output_file);

      # GetOptions(), and subsequently TIGR_GetOptions(), leaves
      # the variables unchanged if no corresponding command line
      # arguments are parsed.  The passed variables are checked below.

      if (defined $input_file) {

         # The log message is written only if debugging is turned on.
         # By default, debugging is off.  To turn on debugging, use the
         # '-debug DEBUG_LEVEL' option on the command line.
         # In this example, '-debug 1' would set debugging to level 1
         # and report these log messages.

         $tfobject->logLocal("My input file is $input_file", 1);
      }

      print "Hello world", "\n";

      # This case is similar to the previous one above...
