NAME

WARC::Index::Builder - abstract base class for building indexes

SYNOPSIS

  use WARC::Index;

  $cdx_builder = build WARC::Index::File::CDX (...);
  $sdbm_builder = build WARC::Index::File::SDBM (...);

  $cdx_entry = $cdx_builder->add($record);
  $sdbm_builder->add($cdx_entry);

DESCRIPTION

WARC::Index::Builder is an abstract base class for constructing indexes on WARC files. The interface is documented here, but implemented in specialized classes for each index type.

Methods

$entry = $builder->add( ... )

Add an item to the growing index. All index types accept both WARC records and entries from other indexes, although only metaindex-capable formats use the latter. Any number of items may be added with a single call.

Returns the new index entry.
