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 for display 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 0.07
-----------------------
      - obsoleted WebFetch::EGAuthors because they change their site too
        often to keep up with
      - added WebFetch::CNETnews, contributed by Jamie Heilman
      - updated WeBFetch::CNNsearch to allow keyword-only searches.
        This became necessary when a Linux story got on all the
        "in other news" pages at CNN and suddenly all pages on CNN
        matched a search for Linux.  This release also fixed a bug
        with non-Linux searches, reported by Jamie Heilman.
      - New --style command line option was added to control the internal
        HTML style parameter.  Some new style strings were added
        (notable, bullet)
