NAME
       WWW::Search::Lycos - class for searching www.lycos.com

SYNOPSIS
         use WWW::Search;
         my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('Lycos');
         my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("+sushi restaurant +Columbus Ohio");
         $oSearch->native_query($sQuery);
         while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())
           { print $oResult->url, "\n"; }

DESCRIPTION
       This class is a Lycos specialization of WWW::Search.  It handles making and interpreting
       Lycos-site searches http://www.Lycos.com.

       This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search
       objects.

NOTES
       www.lycos.com is sometimes slow to respond; but I have not had a problem with the default
       timeout.

       www.lycos.com does not give the date nor size of the pages at the resulting URLs; there-
       fore change_date() and size() will never have a value.

SEE ALSO
       To make new back-ends, see WWW::Search.

BUGS
       Please tell the author if you find any!
