## OPTIONS

- **-activite** or **-business**

  Activity or business type you're looking for. This is a mandatory switch if you don't specify the **-name** or **-nom** switches.

- **-nom** or **-name**

  Name of the person or company you're looking for. Note that the search is done with a fuzzy match.

- **-prenom** or **-firstname**

  First name of the person you're looking for. This option is ignored if the **-activite** or **-business** are set.

- **-adresse** or **-address**

  Address of the person you're searching for.

- **-localite** or **-town**

  Name of the town.

- **-department** or **-district**

  Department district or Region you're searching in.

- **-separator**

  Character used to separate fields in the result set.  Default is a tabulation character.

- **-useragent**

  The default user-agent string passed to the www.pagesjaunes.fr site is ""WWW::Search::Pagesjaunes/x.xx" where x.xx is the version of the module.

  Sometimes, it is needed to change it to other user-agent strings.

- **-limit**

  Maximum number of entries returned. Default is 50. If you set it to 0 or a negative number, it will return all the entries found.

- **-english**

  Use the english interface of pagesjaunes.fr. This means that you can enter business types in english (i.e. 'plumber' instead of 'plombier'), and error messages will be displayed in english.

  Print a brief help message and exits.
