Solstice::Button - A model to hold the data for a Solstice button.

  use Solstice::ButtonService;
  use Solstice::Button;

  my $button = $button_service->makeButton(...);

  #The public methods in Button are for converting the Button data into an HTML 
  string...
  my $html = $button->getButton();
  $html = $button->getTextLink();
  $html = $button->getImageLink();
  $html = $button->getImageTextLink();
  $html = $button->getDropDown();
  $html = $button->getPseudoButton();

The Button object is designed to be a flexible way of allowing a user to engage with the solstice framework, without the programmer needing to make sure that what they do is compatable with state processing. It was originally designed to make buttons, hence the name, but quickly grew into a tool to manage any sort of user submission to the system.
