Search::Sitemap::Ping - Notify search engines of sitemap updates
use Search::Sitemap::Ping; my $ping = Search::Sitemap::Ping->new( 'http://www.jasonkohles.com/sitemap.gz', ); $ping->submit; for my $url ( $ping->urls ) { print "$url\n"; for my $engine ( $ping->engines ) { printf( " %25s %s\n", $engine, $ping->status( $url, $engine ) ); } }
This module makes it easy to notify search engines that your sitemaps, or sitemap indexes, have been updated. See Search::Sitemap and Search::Sitemap::Index for tools to help you create sitemaps and indexes.
Create a new Search::Sitemap::Ping object.
Add one or more urls to the list of URLs to submit.
Return the list of urls that will be (or were) submitted.
Add one or more search engines to the list of search engines to submit to.
Return the list of search engines that will be (or were) submitted to.
Submit the urls to the search engines, returns the number of successful submissions. This module uses LWP::UserAgent for the web-based submissions, and will honor proxy settings in the environment. See LWP::UserAgent for more information.
Returns the status of the indicated submission. The URL must be specified, If an engine is specified it will return just the status of the submission to that engine, otherwise it will return a hashref of the engines that the url will be (or was) submitted to, and the status for each one.
The status may be one of:
undef or empty string
Not submitted yet.
'SUCCESS'
Succesfully submitted. Note that this just means it was successfully transferred to the search engine, if there are problems in the file the search engine may reject it later when it attempts to use it.
HTTP Error String
In case of an error, the error string will be provided as the status.
