DESCRIPTION

This module makes an AccountableBagHash / AccountableMixHash class available that can be used instead of the normal BagHash / MixHash. The only difference with a normal BagHash / MixHash is, is that if an attempt is made to set the value of a key to less than 0, that an exception is thrown rather than just deleting the key from the BagHash / MixHash.

Also exports a X::BagHash::Accountable error class that will be thrown if an attempt is made to set the value to below 0.
