battery

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
# battery.pl
# 
# Perl script that displays to the terminal the charge on your Mac Intel battery (and takes
# a guess as to how much time is left on the charge).
# 
# Version 1.0 (010308) - Hey, it works!
#         1.1 (010408) - Added debugging code; added IsCharging test; changed symbols for TimeLeft.
#         1.2 (011208) - "Fixed" some weirdness with the battery being at less than 100% capacity,
#                        but still reading "FullyCharged" or reading "FullyCharged" while also 
#                        reading "IsCharging." Wacky.
