This module is part of the W3C::LogValidator suite, and simply gives back pages sorted by popularity. This is an example of simple module for LogValidator.

API

Constructor

$b = W3C::LogValidator::Basic->new

Constructs a new "W3C::LogValidator:HTMLBasic" processor.

You might pass it a configuration hash reference (see "config_module" in W3C::LogValidator and W3C::LogValidator::Config) Particularly relevant for this module are the "verbose", "MaxDocuments" and obviously "tmpfile" (see "process_list"). Pass the configuration hash ref as follows:

  $b = W3C::LogValidator::HTMLValidator->new(\%config);

General Methods

b->uris

Returns a list of URIs to be processed (unless the configuration gives the location for the hash of URI/hits berkeley file, see "process_list" If an array is given as a parameter, also sets the list of URIs and returns it. Note: while this method is useful in other modules of W3C::LogValidator, this basic module is here to sort URIs extracted from Log Files by popularity, this method is hence rather useless for W3C::LogValidator::Basic.

b->trim_uris

Given a list of URIs of documents to process, returns a subset of this list containing the URIs of documents the module supposedly can handle. For this module, the decision is made based on the setting for ExcludedAreas only

b->process_list

Formats the list of URIs sorted by popularity.

Returns a result hash. Keys for this hash are:

  name (string): the name of the module, i.e "Basic"
  intro (string): introduction to the processing results
  thead (array): headers of the results table
  trows (array of arrays): rows of the results table
  outro (string): conclusion of the processing results
