DESCRIPTION

This class is a HeadHunter specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting HeadHunter searches at http://www.HeadHunter.net. HeadHunter supports Boolean logic with ``and''s ``or''s. See http://www.HeadHunter.net/Help/jobquerylang.htm for a full description of the query language.

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