DESCRIPTION

WWW::BBSWatch - Send via email messages posted to a WWW bulletin board

This module allows you to monitor a World Wide Web Bulletin Board and email new postings to you. The email headers are as correct as possible, including reasonable I<From>, I<Subject>, I<Date>, I<Message-Id> and I<References> entries.

PREREQUISITES

LWP::UserAgent
MIME::Lite

INSTALLATION

This is a simple module. The typical installation routine should work fine.

perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install

PROBLEMS

If the test fails, the most likely reason is that you access the internet thru a firewall. Set the environment variable 'http_proxy' to your firewall. For example for sh/ksh/bash
export http_proxy=http://httpproxy:411 or in csh
setenv http_proxy http://httpproxy:411
