    $pl = ExtUtils::Packlist->new([plfile])

Constructor. Takes the name of a .packlist as the optional parameter and returns a reference to a hash that has an entry for each line in the .packlist. The value associated with each key is `undef` for oldstyle .packlists. For files in the extended format, the value for each key is a hash containing the key/value pairs on the line associated with that key.
