Puppet::Body is a utility class that is used (and not inherited like
the deprecated Puppet::Any) to manage dynamic has-a relations between
objects.

This class provides the following features :

- An event log so derived object may log their activity
- A Debug log so derived object may log their "accidental" 
  activities
- A set of functions to managed "has-a" relationship between Puppet objects.
- A facility to store data on a database file tied to a hash.

Suggested DSLI entry in the Perl Module list:

Puppet::Body    adpO  Has-a relations and logs in Puppet framework DDUMONT
Puppet::Storage adpO  Permanent data in Puppet framework           DDUMONT

About Puppet body classes

Puppet framework is made of a set of utility classes. I currently use
this framework for a major application Tk application.

If you use directly the Puppet::Body class, you get the plain
functionnality.  And if you use the Puppet::Show class, you can get
the same functionnality and a Tk Gui to manage it.


I'd like people who use this module for their application to drop me a
short note about what they're using this module for.

Starting from version 1.014, Puppet::Body is split in 2 classes:
Puppet::Storage and Puppet::Body. Sorry to change the design, I hope
this will not bother too many people (I don't think so because I has
very few questions on this module)

See the embedded documentation in the module for more details.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
