-<p>I believe the code for screen scraping the Dell site was originally
-written by Trond Hasle Amundsen, and later adjusted by me and Morten
-Werner Forsbring. The HP scraping was written by me after reading a
-nice article in ;login: about how to use WWW::Mechanize, and the IBM
-scraping was written by me based on the Dell code. I know the HTML
-parsing could be done using nice libraries, but did not want to
-introduce more dependencies. This is the current incarnation:</p>

-<pre>
-use LWP::Simple;
-use POSIX;
-use WWW::Mechanize;
-use Date::Parse;
-[...]

-<p>Here are some examples on how to use the function, using fake
-serial numbers. The information passed in as arguments are fetched
-from dmidecode.</p>
-
-<pre>
-print get_support_info("hp.host", "HP ProLiant BL460c G1", "1234567890"
- "447707-B21");
-print get_support_info("dell.host", "Dell Inc. PowerEdge 2950", "1234567");
-print get_support_info("ibm.host", "IBM eserver xSeries 345 -[867061X]-",
- "1234567");
-</pre>
-
-<p>I would recommend this approach for tracking support contracts for
-everyone with more than a new computers to administer. :)</p>
