University::UMassAmherst: Programmatic Access to SPIRE

University::UMassAmherst is a perl module that provides programmatic access to SPIRE's course catalog (SPIRE is UMass Amherst's course scheduling website).

This is a rough draft, and it shows - there's not much documentation and there still may be a few bugs (don't even ask for tests yet). However, this should be very handy for people who need to aggregate course data because I believe this is the first of its kind (for UMass, atleast). Future releases (which I'm definitely planning on) will include better documentation, build tests, and caching to reduce bandwidth.

Enjoy!
