37:
38: Set of functions that download and process student information.

59: =head1 DOWNLOAD INFORMATION
60:
61: This section contains all the files that get data from other servers
62: and/or itself. There is one function that has a call to get remote
63: information but isn't included here which is ProcessTopLevelMap. The
64: usage was small enough to be ignored, but that portion may be moved
65: here in the future.

75: Collects lastname, generation, middlename, firstname, PID, and section for each
76: student from their environment database. The list of students is built from
77: collecting a classlist for the course that is to be displayed.

86: is used to short circuit this function so that it doesn't continue to
87: get information when there is no need.
