  </op>
  EOC
  my $ref = XMLin($xmlStr);

  my $op = OpBase->fromXML( $ref );
  print $op->asXML(), "\n*Arity ->", $op->arity(), "\n";

  my $op = new Permutation (0.5 ); #Create from scratch with 0.5 probability

Base Class

OpBase

DESCRIPTION

Permutation operator for a GA

create

Creates a new permutation operator with an application rate. Rate defaults to 0.5.

Called create to distinguish from the classwide ctor, new. It just makes simpler to create a Permutation Operator

set

Sets the instance variables. Takes a ref-to-hash as input

apply

Applies permutation operator to a ``Chromosome''. Can be applied to any victims.

asXML

Prints as XML, following the EvoSpec 0.2 XML specification. Should be called from derived classes, not by itself.
