+This Perl class provides an object oriented API which lets you gather
+SETI@home stats from one or more machines and gives you a programmatic
+way of getting access to them. It can cope with multiple SETI@home
+clients which share a directory hierarchy accessible to the machine it
+is run on, clients which each have their own private filespace (using
+rsh, ssh or equivalent) and even works for boxes running Windows NT.
+
+SETI::Stats borrows from Jan Rocho's perlseti.pl, but differs in
+several ways - this is a module devoted to stats gathering rather than
+a general purpose control program, it can be used to monitor remote
+machines without even requiring Perl to be installed on them, and
+it provides a generic framework for access to (both local and remote)
+SETI@home client stats. It could also be extended to cover stats
+gathering from the SETI@home WWW server, though this may be better done
+in a separate module to avoid code bloat.
