.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module will allow libraries (helper modules) to have a dependency
to a small module instead of the full Log\-Report distribution.  The full
power of \f(CW\*(C`Log::Report\*(C'\fR is only released when the main program uses that
module.  In that case, the module using the \*(AqOptional\*(Aq will also use the
full Log::Report, otherwise the dressed\-down Log::Report::Minimal
version.
.PP
For the full documentation:
.IP \(bu 4
see Log::Report when it is used by main
.IP \(bu 4
see Log::Report::Minimal otherwise
.PP
The latter provides the same functions from the former, but is the
simpelest possible way.
