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.
