NAMEWWW::Search::AltaVista::Intranet - class for searching via AltaVista Search Intranet 2.3SYNOPSISuse WWW::Search; my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('AltaVista::Intranet', (_host => 'copper', _port => 9000),); my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("+investment +club"); $oSearch->native_query($sQuery); while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result()) { print $oResult->url, "\n"; } DESCRIPTIONThis class implements a search on AltaVista's Intranet ("AVI") Search.This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects. NOTESIf your query includes characters outside the 7-bit ascii, you must tell AVI how to interpret 8-bit characters. Add an option for 'enc' to the native_query() call:$oSearch->native_query(WWW::Search::escape_query('Zürich'), { 'enc' => 'iso88591'}, ); Hopefully the correct values for various languages can be found in the AVI documentation (sorry, I haven't looked). TESTINGThere is no standard built-in test mechanism for this module, because very few users of WWW::Search will have AVI installed on their intranet. (How's that for an excuse? ;-)AUTHOR"WWW::Search::AltaVista::Intranet" was written by Martin Thurn <mthurn@cpan.org>COPYRIGHTCopyright (c) 1996 University of Southern California.
