    use Sys::Group::GIDhelper;

    #implements it with the default values

    #sets the min to 0 and the max to 4000
    my $foo = Sys::Group::GIDhelper->new({max=>'0', min=>'4000'});

    #finds the first free one
    my $first = $foo->firstfree();
    if(defined($first)){
        print $first."\n";
    }else{
        print "not found\n";
    }

    #finds the first last one
    my $last = $foo->lastfree();
    if(defined($last)){
        print $last."\n";
