Perlbug::Fix - Command line interface to fixing perlbug database.

Command line interface to fixing incorrect perlbug data.

Most calls take an integer as the maximimum number of records to process, or default to a relatively low value.

	use Perlbug::Fix;

	my $o_fix = Perlbug::Fix->new();

	$o_fix->cmd; # loop

  	lowercase is indicator/report 

	UPPERcase expands/effects

	> h		# help [with args]

	> H		# Helpful help

	> k 125	1 # set Perlbug_Max (number of records to fix) to 125, and force

	> s		# scan for correctable relationships

	> S 200108%	# implement corrections for August registered bugs

	> 		# etc.

new

Create new Perlbug::Fix object:

    my $o_fix = Perlbug::Fix->new();

kick

Kick Perlbug_Force value ...

	my $ret = $o_fix->kick($i_max, $i_force);
