No, it isn't. I would really like to invest the time into making it so if
somebody would like to give me a bit of guidance.

Definitely. I am in the process of writing a document outlining the
rationale in the design of the module and the ways in which it is
currently being used. This document provides a
Description:
Requires:
Returns:
Notes:
type of documentation which I am hoping can provide the basis for perldoc
type of documentation.

I have written a fairly thorough test script as well and I was looking for
help with this as well.

Should I post the existing documentation to the list for criticism or can
I send it to somebody privately? Can I send somebody the module privately
once to see how it rates before I inflict the world with my programming?
