This class is a Dice specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting Dice searches at http://www.dice.com.

By default, returned WWW::SearchResult objects contain only url, title and description which is a mixture of location and skills wanted. Function getMoreInfo( $url ) provides more specific info - it has to be used as

my ($company,$title,$date,$location) =
$oSearch->getMoreInfo($res->url);
