INSTALLATION

	To install this module type the following:

	   perl Makefile.PL
	   make
	   make test
	   make install

DESCRIPTION
    Gets jobs from the UK IT job site, *The IT Job Board*.

    A sub-class of WWW::Search that uses HTML::TokeParser to return
    "WWW::SearchResult" objects for each result found when querying
    "www.theitjobboard.co.uk".

    One frustrating aspect of *The IT Jobboard* is that, unlike *JobServe*
    (WWW::Search::Jobserve), it doesn't provide an option to list jobs with
    full descriptions. So this module offers the ability to create such a
    list: provide the constructor parameter "detailed", with a value of
    "html" or "text" to get details as HTML or plain text. This will extend
    the "WWW::SearchResult" objects' "description" field, and also add a
    "details" key, which is itself a hash with interesting keys such as
    "location" and "salary" - those keys come directly from the HTML page,
    so YMMV.

    At the time of writing, valid options for The IT Job Board search are as
    below. These should be passed to "native_query", as shown in the
    example.

    keywords
        THe keywords your target job description should contain. Default is
        "perl", of course.

    jobtype
        Valid values are: 1 for contract (our default), 2 for permenant, and
        0 for either You may use constants:
        "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::CONTRACT",
        "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::PERM",
        "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::ANY".

    days
        The age of the posting, in days, according to the site's records. A
        value of 0 represents any age. Our default is 1.

    orderby
        Not especially relevant for us: valid values are 1 to order by
        relevance to the keywords; 2 to order by date posted; 3 orders by
        salary; 4 puts non-agency jobs first, which is the default. You may
        use constants: "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::RELEVANCE",
        "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::DATE",
        "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::SALARY",
        "WWW::Search::TheITJobBoard::NONAGENCY"

    locations[]
        This ugly-named entity limits the search by location. The default is
        to return all jobs, regardless. Valid values are: "undef" to return
        all jobs; 180 for UK, 124 for Netherlands, 93 for Germany, 69 for
        France, 308 for Switzerland, 170 for Republic Of Ireland, 3 for
        Austria, 301 for 'the rest Of the world,' 254 for 'other European.'

        You may supply "location" instead of "location[]", but you will
        still have to access the value you set via the latter.

    currpage
        The number of the page to start at, indexed from 1.

    lang
        Defaults to "en" for English, but you could try other two-letter ISO
        codes.

DEPENDENCIES
    WWW::Search, HTML::TokeParser.
