So far the general consensus has been this:  for each recipe in the
Cookbook, try to create one file which represents the "solutions" to
the problem.  Trying to put things in multiple files just for one
recipe will make things more difficult to manage.  If some disagree,
that's OK.  Let's hear a better idea.

In the meantime, try to keep to one file, if you can (or create
something easily scriptable to merge it together for submission to
pleac?).  And don't worry if you can't run the examples because Pugs
isn't there yet.  This is partially here to show off Pugs, but it's
also here to make an easy migration path for people.

The real question is whether or not the Cookbook text can be used.  The
code is probably OK (it's meant to be reused), but the problem
statements -- some of which I have copied verbatim -- are in copyright.
 I have a question in with O'Reilly and I've been assured that it's
been forwarded to their legal department.  As soon as I have an answer,
I'll post it and let people know.

Cheers,
Ovid
