Linux::Bootloader - Base class interacting with Linux bootloaders

	use Linux::Bootloader;

	my $bootloader = new Linux::Bootloader();
        my $config_file='/boot/grub/menu.lst';

	$bootloader->read($config_file);
	$bootloader->print_info('all');
	$bootloader->add(%hash);
	$bootloader->update(%hash);
	$bootloader->remove(2);
	$bootloader->get_default();
	$bootloader->set_default(2);
	%hash = $bootloader->read_entry(0);
