Constructor

Open a new scope for symbols.

=cut

=item $symbols->pop_scope()

Close (delete) the last scope, delete all symbols in this scope.

}

=item $symbols->define_symbol($name, $value)

Define a symbol in the current scope.

=item $symbols->evaluate($string)

Evaluate all symbols in a string.
The symbol variables must obey the syntax C<${name}>.
Returns the evaluated string.
