URLs automatically rewritten from /search?dist=Foo or /dist/Foo
to /dist/Foo/ (note trailing slash).  After a 2002(!) reorganization,
this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org.

This module is intended to help you automate interaction with a website.
It bears a not-very-remarkable outwards resemblance to WWW::Chat, on
which it is based. The main difference between this module and
WWW::Chat is that WWW::Chat requires a pre-processing stage before you
can run your script, whereas WWW::Automate does not.
WWW::Automate is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, so anything you can do
with an LWP::UserAgent, you can also do with this. See LWP::UserAgent
for more information on the possibilities.
