=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple module providing utility functions and regexp patterns used elsewhere in the Tab2MAGE package.

datafile_consistency_table( \@filelist ): Given an arrayref of Datafile objects (see the ArrayExpress::Datafile manpage), returns a string representing a summary of files tabulated by hyb_identifier, reporting on presence or absence in the filesystem.
biomaterials_report( $HoH, $title, $fh ): Given a nested hashref of hashrefs (of indeterminate depth), a report title and an output filehandle, prints a report giving links between nodes in the hashref structure (recursively).
report_accumulated_errors( $HoH, $fh, $string ): Given a hashref of hashrefs keyed by filename and then by elements (e.g. duplicate feature identifiers), an output filehandle and an explanatory string, print a report.
format_description( $text, $fh ): Takes a text string and an output filehandle, and prints the string in lines of less than 80 chars, splitting words on whitespace.
