=head1 DESCRIPTION
Class for a configurable evolutionary algoritm. It takes a
single-generarion object, and mixes it with a termination condition
to create a full algorithm. Includes a sensible default
(100-generation generational algorithm) if it is issued only an object
of class L<Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::GeneralGeneration>.

=head2 new( $single_generation[, $termination_test] [, $verboseness] )
Takes an already created algorithm and a terminator, and creates an object

=head2 set( $hashref, $codehash, $opshash )
Sets the instance variables. Takes hashes to the different options of
the algorithm: parameters, fitness functions and operators
=cut

my $hashref = shift || croak "No params here";

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base::fromXML( $o, $opshash->{$o}->[1], $opshash->{$o}->[0] );
}
}
=head2 apply( $reference_to_population_array )
Applies the algorithm to the population; checks that it receives a
ref-to-array as input, croaks if it does not. Returns a sorted,
culled, evaluated population for next generation.
