[Hplusroadmap] AutoScholar 1.0.0

From the site: to my delight, the University of Texas at Austin allows 
all accepted students to access the scientific literature, even before 
the summer orientation sessions. I tried it out today and started to 
download some papers. Click, click, click, let the browser load, 
unload, let the PDF program load in the background, click back to the 
browser since kpdf wants to grab attention, lots and lots of useless 
steps. This is obviously much more than O(n) or just directly getting 
the papers. But there was a pattern. So, being deprived of real science 
and literature for the past four years, I took this opportunity to 
write a script to fetch as much as science as I can handle -- 
automatically. The result is AutoScholar, a hacky perl script that is 
in desperate need of improvement. AutoScholar should work with any 
university using ezproxy (this is most of them -- chances are, your uni 
is using ezproxy). Just type in the name of the paper you want. Ask and 
ye shall receive.
