Module submission WWW::Finger
Perl Authors Upload Server
The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: WWW::Finger
DSLIP: adpOp
description: Get useful data from e-mail addresses
userid: TOBYINK (Toby Inkster)
chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI)
communities:
http://groups.google.com/group/webfinger
similar:
Net::Finger
rationale:
WWW::Finger is conceptually similar to Net::Finger. You give it an
identifier that looks like an e-mail address (user@host) and it
provides you with information about that user.
However, WWW::Finger uses various web-based methods of finding that
information - not the finger protocol (RFC 1288).

I think that's why you should choose something that lets people know
it's finger-like, but not finger. :)
I don't have a better suggestion though, since I don't know what data
you retrieve.
