That seems to argue that I publish Mac::Pasteboard pretty much as is,
then follow with Mac::Clipboard. It's lazy, but is it lazy _enough_?

Would it expedite discussion if I put out a pre-release of the code?
If so, how should it be done? Mail the tarball to people who ask? Post
to the newsgroup? Submit to CPAN with a development version number? I
can't guarantee the documentation to be limpid prose, but the code
works.
