The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: WWW::FilterRobot DSLIP: aupha description: WWW robot plus text analyzer userid: XERN (Lin Yung-Chung) chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI) communities: comp.lang.perl.modules
similar: LWP HTML::TreeBuilder WWW::Search WWW::Robot rationale: Just Like what I've written for WWW::SpiTract before. WWW::FilterRobot combines LWP and HTML::TreeBuilder together. Users can write descriptions for specific sites and this module can automatically fetch pages with some attributes in common and extract data as assigned. Users can also write callback functions to manipulate retrieved data. Metasearch engine, personal news center, or price comparison engine, for example, can be easily built upon this. WWW::Search is mainly designed for search engines, but WWW::FilterRobot is more for general uses. WWW::Robot deals with links in a page, not for general purposes either. enteredby: XERN (Lin Yung-Chung) enteredon: Sat Nov 30 18:10:30 2002 GMT The resulting entry would be: WWW:: ::FilterRobot aupha WWW robot plus text analyzer XERN Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=cc300000_6069233a025dd5f4&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=cc300000_6069233a025dd5f4&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
