it wasn't an incorrect url but it got line wrapped somehow when bill
pasted it into his email. i grabbed the entire url and it worked.

I haven't ran across one...but it would be handy to have one for state 
machine construction, which often starts with a truth table.

a search for 'boolean' doesn't seem to find anything among many hits. a
search for 'truth' (and don't we always search for truth! :) yields two
hits, one of which seems to the the opposite of what you want!

http://search.cpan.org/~pjcj/Devel-Cover-0.64/lib/Devel/Cover/Truth_Table.pm

that takes boolean ops and values and combines them and can print out
the table you want to parse! maybe you can use the methods to do what
you want.
