## If pod_usequery=1 then POD will expect to be called in the format

## Only allow categories with the following prefixes.

## For example, 'Computers/Internet' will only allow categories with

## the prefix Computers/Internet to be listed.

## Leave commented out if you want the entire directory to be usable
<br>
## not used ATM
<br>
# @prefixes='';

## If you have a HTTP proxy you wish the script to use, please define
