DESCRIPTION

This is a simple interface to the GO toolkit

TIP FOR PROGRAMMERS: If you are already familiar with object oriented perl, you should use the GO::AppHandle class; this module is intended as a simple convenience wrapper for a small section of the perl API. Warning! contains some serious hacks!
