=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::WrapperBase - A Base object for wrappers around executables

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # do not use this object directly, it provides the following methods
  # for its subclasses

  my $errstr = $obj->error_string();
  my $exe    = $obj->executable();
  $obj->save_tempfiles($booleanflag)
  my $outfile= $obj->outfile_name();
  my $tempdir= $obj->tempdir(); # get a temporary dir for executing
  my $io     = $obj->io;  # Bio::Root::IO object
  my $cleanup= $obj->cleanup(); # remove tempfiles

  $obj->run({-arg1 => $value});

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a basic module from which to build executable wrapper modules.
It has some basic methods to help when implementing new modules.
