Methods
get_karma($username)
Returns either a string representing the total number of karma points for the passed $username or the
total number of karma points and subroutine reference for good and bad karma comments. These
references return the according karma levels when called in scalar context or a array of hash
reference. Every hash reference has entries for the timestamp (timestamp), the giver (who) and the
explanation string (reason) for its karma action.
add_karma($thing, $good, $reason, $who)
Adds or subtracts from the passed $thing's karma. $good is either 1 (to add a karma point to the
$thing or 0 (to subtract). $reason is an optional string commenting on the reason for the change, and
$who is the person modifying the karma of $thing. Nothing is returned.
