This class is a YC specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting YC searches at http://careers.yahoo.com

The returned WWW::SearchResult objects contain url, title, company, location and change_date fields.

The returned url is the one found in the Yahoo! own database. However, it quite often appears in other databases where this url was originally taken from. To retrieve this "true" url use the function getMoreInfo as written in the above example.

The following search options can be activated by sending a hash as the second argument to native_query().

The default is to match ALL keywords in your query. To match ANY keywords use

{'za' => 'or'}

The default is to return all ads in the Yahoo ! job database. To change it use

{'g' => $number} - displays jobs posted in last $number days

{'cpo' => $pattern}

Display jobs where company name matches $pattern.

{'cpj' => $pattern}

Display jobs where job title matches $pattern.
