NAME

WWW::Page::Author - locates the author of a web page

SYNOPSIS

    use WWW::Page::Author;
    my $pa = WWW::Page::Author->new;
    print $pa->get_author('http://www.apple.com/');

DESCRIPTION

The WWW::Page::Author module attempts to determine the author of a web page. It does this by examining the HTTP headers, HTML headers and the body of the HTML document.

METHODS

WWW::Page::Author->new()

Creates a new author seeking object.

$pa->get_author($url)

Returns the author of the web page (or site) or undef. $url can either be an HTTP::Response object, a URI object or just a string URL.

It needs to cater for more weird and unusual ways of putting dates on web pages.
