WWW::Search::Excite::News - class for searching ExciteNews
This module is not included with the standard ActivePerl distribution. It is available as a separate download using PPM.
require WWW::Search;
$search = new WWW::Search('Excite::News');
Class for searching Excite News http://www.excite.com.
Excite has one of the best news bot on the web.
Following results returned for printing are:
$result->{'description'} will return description if any
$result->{'source'} articles news source
$result->{'date'} articles date
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should
be done through WWW::Search objects.
To make new back-ends, see the WWW::Search manpage.
native_setup_search is called before we do anything.
It initializes our private variables (which all begin with underscores)
and sets up a URL to the first results page in {_next_url}.
C<native_retrieve_some> is called (from C<WWW::Search::retrieve_some>)
whenever more hits are needed. It calls the LWP library
to fetch the page specified by C<{_next_url}>.
It parses this page, appending any search hits it finds to
C<{cache}>. If it finds a ``next'' button in the text,
it sets C<{_next_url}> to point to the page for the next
set of results, otherwise it sets it to undef to indicate we are done.
