HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey

Yesterday I posted a GreaseMonkey script to add a CPAN Dependencies link to search.cpan.org.

The only problem with that is that FireFox is not my main browser. I tend to use FireFox for web development (FireBug++) and Safari for general surfing. Theoretically you can use GreaseMonkey scripts in Safari using CreamMonkey - but I couldn't get that to play nicely with Leopard.

So I've released HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey which builds on BooK's excellent HTTP::Proxy to provide a local proxy that functions like GreaseMonkey.

Version 0.01 of HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey has no support for the GM_* utility functions that the real GreaseMonkey provides - but it works well enough to support my CPAN dependencies user script and probably quite a few other GM scripts. Suggestions are welcome. Suggestions with patches even more so.
