About WebFetch
--------------
WebFetch is a set of Perl5 modules that provide a framework for retrieving
information from local files and/or the web for display on the web or
export to other sites. Its use is oriented around periodically automatically
updated information on a web server. SVLUG developed WebFetch to capture
news and information on its web site.

The current set of capture modules are Linux-oriented because it started
with SVLUG.  But this is expected to change with the directions of user
contributions.

Changes in Version 0.04
-----------------------
      - modified WebFetch::Slashdot so it can get Segfault.org headlines
        and any other Slashdot-compatible site
      - updated module dependencies in Makefile.PL (was missing Date::Calc
        for WebFetch::SiteNews)
      - added WebFetch::CNNsearch module
      - added WebFetch::COLA module
      - added --font_size and --font_face to WebFetch (all command lines)
      - default WebFetch::General format now uses "title" instead of "text"
      - fixed bad RE flags in WebFetch::General, captures more than one
        field correctly now
