26 Mozilla, if it finds JavaScript installed. Otherwise it will use
27 the JE module as its JavaScript interpreter, so that CPAN or

56 HTTP::ProxyPAC allows use of a Proxy Auto Configuration file to
57 find an appropriate proxy for a URL. You can use a .pac file
58 from Firefox, IE or Opera, or a wpad.dat file obtained via the
59 WPAD protocol (see 2nd link in DESCRIPTION).
