I am the author and/or maintainer of several modules on CPAN , the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. Every CPAN author has a personal directory on CPAN, mine can be found at http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/MT/MTHURN . In the list below, module names are links to documentation on cpan.org. You can download the modules from my CPAN directory, or you can use a semi-automatic installer such as CPANPLUS .

I do all the work on these modules in my precious spare time. Knowing that people actually care about and utilize my work inspires me to keep plugging away at them, little by little!

If you enjoy my modules, or if they have saved you a lot of time, or if you have (gasp!) profited from my work, perhaps you would consider showing your appreciation by buying something from my Amazon wish list and having it shipped to me, or by sending me a donation via PayPal (clicking this logo will take you to paypal.com in a new window with my information already filled in):

• Devel::Fail::Make deliberately fails during the `make` stage of the normal build process. Intended to be used as a test case for automatic module installers.
• Devel::Fail::MakefilePL deliberately fails during the `perl Makefile.PL` stage of the normal build process. Intended to be used as a test case for automatic module installers.
• Devel::Fail::MakeTest deliberately fails during the `make test` stage of the normal build process. Intended to be used as a test case for automatic module installers.
• Devel::Todo::Find makes it easy to find TODO items mentioned in comments in your Perl source code.
• Email::Send::SMTP::Auth is deprecated because Email::Send::SMTP (not mine) has been enhanced to perform the same functionality.
• HTTP::Cookies::Find locates web browser cookies for particular websites for the current user.
• I18N::Charset combines and interrelates many character-set naming conventions, such as IANA, GNU iconv, Perl module Encode, Unicode::Map, etc., so that your software can comfortably and easily talk to all of them.
• Lingua::Alphabet::Phonetic converts strings of letters to phonetic alphabet (such as the military Alpha Bravo Charlie).
• Net::Address::Ethernet tells you the MAC address(es) of (the active net connection of) the machine you're running on.
• RDF::Simple::Serialiser::N3 lets you output RDF::Simple triples in Notation3 format.
• WWW::Ebay lets you interact with www.ebay.com with your username and password, so that you can get at Completed auctions, My Ebay, etc.
• WWW::Search, written by John Heidemann and now maintained by me, provides the base functionality for sending queries to web-based search engines and retrieving the results list.
• WWW::Search::AltaVista in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search www.altavista.com.
• WWW::Search::Backends contains several backends for WWW::Search (mostly defunct, I'm afraid).
• WWW::Search::Ebay in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search categories of www.ebay.com where username login is not required.
• WWW::Search::HotBot in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search www.hotbot.com.
• WWW::Search::Jobs contains several backends for searching job-related websites with WWW::Search (mostly defunct, I'm afraid).
• WWW::Search::Lycos in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search www.lycos.com.
• WWW::Search::News in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search the Washington Post website for local stories, Reuters, and AP.
• WWW::Search::Yahoo in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search many sections of www.yahoo.com.
• WWW::Search::Yahoo::China in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search Yahoo! China.
• WWW::Search::Yahoo::Deutschland in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search Yahoo! Deutschland (Germany).
• WWW::Search::Yahoo::Japan in conjunction with WWW::Search, enables you to programatically search Yahoo! Japan.
• Win32::IIS::Admin is a bare-bones start of a module that lets you administer an IIS web server from a perl program!
