HOW DOES IT WORK?
"native_setup_search" is called before we do anything. It initializes our private vari-
ables (which all begin with underscores) and sets up a URL to the first results page in
"{_next_url}".
"native_retrieve_some" is called (from "WWW::Search::retrieve_some") whenever more hits
are needed. It calls the LWP library to fetch the page specified by "{_next_url}". It
parses this page, appending any search hits it finds to "{cache}". If it finds a ``next''
button in the text, it sets "{_next_url}" to point to the page for the next set of
results, otherwise it sets it to undef to indicate we're done.
AUTHOR and CURRENT VERSION
"WWW::Search::AltaVista::NL" is written and maintained by Erik Smit, <zoiah AT zoiah.nl>.
The best place to obtain "WWW::Search::AltaVista::NL" is from Martin Thurn's WWW::Search
releases on CPAN. Because AltaVista sometimes changes its format in between his releases,
sometimes more up-to-date versions can be found at http://www.zoiah.nl/program-
ming/AltaVistaNL/index.html.
