22 This class provides a base-class from which individual IRSpy task
23 classes can be derived. For example, C<ZOOM::IRSpy::Task::Search>
24 will represent a searching task, carrying with it a query, a pointer
27 The base class provides nothing more exciting than a link to a
28 callback function to be called when the task is complete, and a
29 pointer to the next task to be performed after this.
