We claim: 1. A method of controlling cathodic protection being effected to a metal structure disposed in an electrolytic environment comprising: electrically connecting a metal coupon to the metal structure, wherein the metal coupon defines a simulated crevice; positioning the metal coupon at a predetermined position relative to the surface of the metal structure and within the electrolytic environment; applying a cathodic protection agent to the surface of the metal structure to effect cathodic protection of the surface of the metal structure; measuring a cathodic protection indication within the crevice; comparing the cathodic protection indication with a predetermined value; and adjusting the cathodic protection agent being applied to the metal structure in response to the comparison. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cathodic protection agent is an electric current. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cathodic protection agent is a chemical treatment agent. 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the chemical composition has a tendency to effect alkaline conditions at the metal structure. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the predetermined position is in close proximity to the metal structure. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrolytic environment is selected from the group consisting of: a subsurface soil environment and an aqueous solution. 7. The method as claimed in claimed 1, wherein the at least one cathodic protection indication includes pH and electric potential. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: measuring an electric potential proximate to the metal coupon and outside the crevice; and comparing the measured electric potential proximate to the metal coupon and outside the crevice with a respective predetermined value to provide a further comparison; wherein the step of adjusting the application of the cathodic protection agent is also in response to the further comparison. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal coupon includes first and second opposing flanges joined by a web, such that the simulated crevice is defined by the space between the first and second flanges. 10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning of the metal coupon is effected by moving the metal coupon through a passage. 11. The method as claimed in claimed 1, wherein the at least two cathodic protection indications include pH and electric potential of the protective film measured in the crevice at the metal surface of the coupon. 12. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising: measuring an electric potential of the film proximate to the metal coupon and proximate to and outside the crevice; and comparing, automatically, the measured electric potential proximate to the metal coupon and outside the crevice with respective predetermined values to provide further comparisons; wherein the steps of adjusting, automatically, the application of the cathodic protection agent is also in response to the further comparisons. 13. A method of controlling cathodic protection being effected at the surface of a metal structure disposed in an electrolytic environment comprising: electrically connecting a metal coupon to the metal structure, wherein the metal coupon defines a simulated crevice; positioning the metal coupon at a predetermined position proximate to the surface of the metal structure and within the electrolytic environment; applying a cathodic protection agent to the surface of the metal structure to effect cathodic protection of the surface of the metal structure; measuring at least two cathodic protection indications within the crevice; comparing each of the cathodic protection indications with a respective predetermined value; and adjusting, automatically, the cathodic protection agent being applied to the surface of the metal structure in response to each of the comparisons. 14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the cathodic protection agent is a direct electric current. 15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the cathodic protection agent is adjusted automatically by either increasing or decreasing protective current so that the polarized potential of the surface remains within the selected minimum and maximum limits in order to prevent corrosion of an iron or steel surface. 16. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the cathodic protection agent is adjusted automatically by the current applied potential sensed outside of the coupon crevice to maintain the potential between the selected predetermined minimum and maximum potential limitations. 17. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the cathodic protection agent is adjusted automatically by the polarized potential of the protective film sensed in the coupon crevice at the metal surface to maintain the selected minimum polarized potential limitations of about-900 mV (CSE) and maximum of about-1200 mV (CSE) in order to prevent corrosion of the iron or steel surface. 18. The method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the cathodic protection agent is further adjusted automatically by the pH sensed in the coupon crevice to increase the pH of the protective film produced at the metal surface sensed in the coupon crevice above 10 and maintain the pH between a minimum of about 11 to a maximum of about 12 in order to prevent corrosion of the iron or steel surface. 19. The method as claimed in any of claims 16, 17, or 18, wherein when the selected minimum or maximum potential and/or pH limitations of either indications are reached, all other indications are automatically overridden to limit further increases or decreases in protective current and an audible, visual or electronic alert is effected. 20. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the cathodic protection agent applied to iron or steel structures is adjusted hierarchically, by adjusting, initially, the current to satisfy the permissible range of potentials, thus overriding adjustments based on pH until the pH of the protective film is above pH 10. Then, either of these two indicators controls, automatically, the potential/pH equilibrium required for corrosion prevention of an iron or steel surface. 21. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the potential and pH criteria for each different metallic surface should be selected to match predetermined levels for automatic control of the cathodic protection agent for corrosion prevention as are known by those who are specialized in this art. 22. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the cathodic protection agent is an electrolyte. 23. The method as claimed in any of claims 14 and 22, wherein the direct current passing through the electrolyte has a tendency to effect polarization and alkalinity at the surface of the metal structure. 24. The method as claimed in claim 23, wherein the cathodic polarisation of the metal structure surface is improved by the addition of sodium and/or potassium hydroxides to the bulk electrolyte. 25. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the predetermined position is in close proximity to the metal structure, wherein the positioning of the metal coupon is effected by moving the metal coupon through a passage. 26.
