The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: WWW::SpiTract
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:
Basically, WWW::SpiTract 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::SpiTract is more for general uses. WWW::Robot deals with links
in a page, not for general purposes either.
