hi happy diggers, Till' 1.3.0 the contrib scripts (whatsnew ...) was not working anymore due to drastic changes into Ht://Dig databases formats, this was a pity because these scripts was very useful; So I wrote HtDig.pm a perl module that interface the htdig databases and more, except for some little features missing (*) you can now read back all the docdb, word.db ... databases, even compressed with Zlib !! This module have too a nice OO design ;-) and is easy to use, see the companion scripts to give you an idea of how easy it is to write scripts using htdig dbs. This module is a beta version, many things still need to be implemented in it (the famous missing features (*) ;-)) and BTW this is my FIRST Perl module so please be indulgent, thanks (any constructive criticism accepted). You can access them @ >> http://www.cenatoulouse.dgac.fr/~boubaker/WWW/HtDig.html << (*) the missing features: hummm, in fact there is ONLY ONE missing feature for HtDig.pm to be really usable with all kind of configurations but ... this is A BIG ONE ;-( It doesn't still take into account the `common_url_parts' directive ... I know this could be very embarrassing caus' common_url_parts have a default value and if you don't EXPLICITLY set it to null in the config file it is activated, and furthermore changing it implies to rebuild completely the databases... Anyway I choose to release HtDig.pm now even with that pb because I hope somebody will help and contribute that missing feature - this is not difficult but it need few time to understand how it is done in the C++ code - I'll have *no time* to work on it at all next month, so if anybody is interested and ll'have time to do it it will be wonderful. thanks -- - heddy - ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the single word "unsubscribe" in the SUBJECT of the message.
