Eric:
This looks promising. I suspect you're mainly looking for feedback on
the interface, which I haven't really looked at yet. But in testing it
3 of the 4 test files were skipped. Perhaps that's okay for a
distribution in the experimental stage, but I know that it would give me
pause if I were thinking about installing it from CPAN.

Checks out into Subversion nicely!

Should a user really have to have these two environmental variables set
in order to use this module?

And looking at the one test that does run ...

... we see that the functionality is not yet tested.
