Bill Fenner 81797980f7 search.cpan.org redirect reduction canonicalization project, pass 1:
URLs automatically rewritten from /search?dist=Foo or /dist/Foo
to /dist/Foo/ (note trailing slash).  After a 2002(!) reorganization,
this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org.

This class is the parent for all access method supported
by the WWW::Search library. This library implements a
Perl API to web-based search engines.
Current search engines supported include AltaVista (both
web and news), Dejanews, Excite (web only), HotBot (web
only), Infoseek (e-mail, web, and news) and Lycos.
Search results are limited and there is a pause between
each request for results to avoid overloading either the
client or the server.
