=head1 NAME

File::Sequence - maintain the sequence number

=head1 SYNOPSIS

To get the latest $article_id, 

   use File::Sequence;
   my $sfh = new File::Sequence { sequence_file => $seq_file };
   my $id  = $sfh->et_id;
   if ($sfh->error) { use Carp; carp( $sfh->error ); }

to increment $article_id and get it

   use File::Sequence;
   my $sfh = new File::Sequence { sequence_file => $seq_file };
   my $id  = $sfh->increment_id;
   if ($sfh->error) { use Carp; carp( $sfh->error ); }

If you divide the $id by some modulus, use

   my $sfh = new File::Sequence { 
       sequence_file => $seq_file,
       modulus       => $modules,
   };
   my $id  = $sfh->increment_id;

For example, if you do new() with modulus 3,

   my $sfh = new File::Sequence { 
       sequence_file => $seq_file,
       modulus       => 3,
   };

$id becomes 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

File::Sequence module maintains the sequence number for something, 
for example, the article number typically.

As an extension, you can generate a cyclic number by this module.
Please specify C<modulus> parameter in new() method if you want to get
a cyclic number.

=head2 C<new($args)>

$args->{ sequence_file } is the file holding the current sequence
number.
$args->{ modulus } is the modulus when you want to get a cyclic
number.

=head2 C<increment_id([$file])>

increment the sequence number.

=head2 C<get_id([$file])>

get the sequence number from specified C<$file>.
