=head1 NAME

ZoneMinder - Container module for common ZoneMinder modules

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use ZoneMinder;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a convenience container module that uses the
ZoneMinder::Base, ZoneMinder::Common, ZoneMinder::Logger,
ZoneMinder::Database and ZoneMinder::Memory modules. It also
exports by default all symbols provided by the 'all' tag of 
each of the modules.

Thus 'use'ing this module is equivalent to the following 

  use ZoneMinder::Base qw(:all);
  use ZoneMinder::Config qw(:all);
  use ZoneMinder::Logger qw(:all);
  use ZoneMinder::Database qw(:all);
  use ZoneMinder::Memory qw(:all);

but is somewhat easier.

=head2 EXPORT

All symbols exported by the 'all' tag of each of the included
modules.
