The initial beta version of AltaVista::SearchSDK (0.99b) has been
uploaded to CPAN.
This is a preliminary release, it really needs a lot of banging on by
various people on different platforms. It is, however, currently
running live in a production environment serving 18 years of archives
for the Christian Science Monitor.
The documentation is included below. Be gentle with me, it's my first
time.
