#!/usr/bin/perl

Update: The readme says:

Comments and suggestions for improvement are always welcome -- send th
+em
to comments@centergate.com.  If you don't like the way the proxy does 
something, please don't whine to us about it.  Fix it and send us a di
+ff,
or just don't use the proxy at all.
