SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Info::Credit qw();
        my($object)=Meta::Info::Credit->new();
        my($result)=$object->method();

DESCRIPTION

Whenever a group of people collaborate on a work then each has done many things in the package. Look at the Linux kernel for instance - it has many contributors and each contributor contributed many things to the package. The idea is that you will have a perl object which can store all of that information - meaning many authors and each has many contribution. What can you do with it ? Well - you can maintain it in an XML file (which is more robust than maintaining it in a text file) and then: 1. print it as a chapter in Docbook. 2. convert it into VCARD which you can import into your email client. 3. find out who did something (search). 4. print it in various formats for various purposes. 5. send test emails to those emails periodically to make sure that all the authors are responsive.
