=head1 NAME

Tie::Scalar::OK - generate numbered 'ok/not ok' strings

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module generates the output that test modules expect
in a similar manner as Test.pm, i.e. "ok #" or "not ok #"
strings are printed to STDOUT for pass and fail, respectively.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use strict;

   my $ok;
   tie $ok, 'Tie::Scalar::OK';

   print $ok = (1 != 1);                        # not ok
   print $ok = (2 == 1+1);                      # ok
   print $ok = ('foo' eq join('',qw(f o o)));   # ok
   print $ok = ('rab' ne scalar reverse 'bar'); # not ok
   print $ok = ('phenobarbitone' =~ /bar/ );    # ok
   print $ok = (0 != (32&(32-1)));              # not ok
