Changes for version 0.38 - 2001-02-01
- Modified format of all files in the module to be more readable. Also added to SPOPS.pm exportable methods _w (warn) and _wm (warn multiple) which provides centralized debugging -- just change the DEBUG value in SPOPS.pm to a number (higher for more warnings) and all the packages in the modules will spill the beans.
- Applied patch from Christian Lemburg (lemburg@aixonix.de) to make 'parse_into_hash' manipulations work as intended in SPOPS/Configure.pm.
