=head1 NAME

VS::RuleEngine::Engine - Engine declaration

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use VS::RuleEngine::Engine;
  
  my $engine = VS::RuleEngine::Engine->new();
  $engine->add_hook(hook1 => "MyApp::GetMoreData");
  $engine->add_rule(rule1 => "MyApp::Rule");
  $engine->add_action(action1 => "MyApp::Action");
  $engine->add_rule_action(rule1 => "action1");
  $engine->run();
  
=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class defines a VS::RuleEngine "engine". Altho it is possible using this class directly it 
is more readable using the declarative interface in L<VS::RuleEngine::Declare> or loading engines 
using an engine loader class (which is currently not available).
