This is basically a "wrapper construction kit" for cleartool. Whereas most users make an alias called 'ct' or similar for cleartool, this Perl module comes with a wrapper program to which you can give the same name. Using the wrapper instead of an alias provides you with a number of hooks for catching certain cleartool operations and modifying their defaults, implementing whatever pre-op or post-op triggerlike behaviors you like (on commands which don't allow actual triggers), or even implementing your own cleartool pseudo-commands. The wrapper need not be called 'ct'; it can be named whatever you like, even 'cleartool'. Note: newer versions may be present at http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/IPC/DSB/.
