=head1 NAME

Term::UI::History - history function

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Term::UI::History qw[history];

    history("Some message");

    ### retrieve the history in printable form
    $hist  = Term::UI::History->history_as_string;

    ### redirect output
    local $Term::UI::History::HISTORY_FH = \*STDERR;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides the C<history> function for C<Term::UI>,
printing and saving all the C<UI> interaction.

Refer to the C<Term::UI> manpage for details on usage from
C<Term::UI>.

This module subclasses C<Log::Message::Simple>. Refer to its
manpage for additional functionality available via this package.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 history("message string" [,VERBOSE])

Records a message on the stack, and prints it to C<STDOUT>
(or actually C<$HISTORY_FH>, see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section
below), if the C<VERBOSE> option is true.

The C<VERBOSE> option defaults to true.
