Barcode.pm version 1.2 
barninger@cvn.net

Copy Barcode.pm somewhere in your perl library path.
Requires GD-1.30 module

Do perldoc Barcode for synopsis of usage.

Creates Code128 type barcodes as a png file which can be saved or printed
and decodes scans from the CueCat scanner using class CueCat->decode. This 
class works for Windows platforms and at a straight text console under linux.
It does not work under X-windows due to the <Alt-F10> code sent at the start
of the scan string. The CueCat->kdecode method uses Pierre-Philippe Coupard's
kernel driver under linux, available at http://opensource.lineo.com.

CHANGES

Version 1.2 Added CueCat->kdecode and CueCat->destroy methods for the linux
kernel driver.

Version 1.1.2 Added code to CueCat->decode sub decode1 to pad raw scan strings
not divisible by 4 characters. Thanks to Taral's insight on this.

Version 1.1.1 Corrected sub decode1 in CueCat->decode to drop the last scan
character if it is not 8-bit length. I think this was the check character and
was being appended to the output in some cases.

Version 1.1 Added class CueCat->decode
