WWW::Search::ZDnet - class for searching ALL of ZDnet
require WWW::Search; $search = new WWW::Search('ZDnet');
Class for searching ALL of ZDnet. http://xlink.zdnet.com.
ZDNet is no longer returning 'descriptions' :(
Searches articles in: Anchordesk, Community, Computer Life, Computer Shopper, NetBuyer, DevHead, Family PC, Help Channel, Inter@ctive Week, Internet, MacWEEK, PC Computing, PC Magazine CD, PC Week, Products, Sm@rt Reseller, Software, Library, Yahoo Internet Life, ZDNN, ZDTV.
Note that dupe articles can appear because they are published in more than one category on ZDnet, or same Title published on different dates.
Print options:
Using $result->{'index_date'} will return categore and date enclosed in brackets, example: [PC Week, 12-14-98]. use this in place of description.
Raw, of course, returns all the HTML of each hit.
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.
To make new back-ends, see WWW::Search.
