NAME

       WWW::Dict::Leo::Org - Interface module to dictionary dict.leo.org

SYNOPSIS

        use WWW::Dict::Leo::Org;
        my $leo = new WWW::Dict::Leo::Org();
        my @matches = $leo->translate($term);

DESCRIPTION

       WWW::Dict::Leo::Org is a module which connects to the website dict.leo.org and translates
       the given term. It returns an array of hashes. Each hash contains a left side and a right
       side of the result entry.

OPTIONS

       new() has several parameters, which can be supplied as a hash.

       All parameters are optional.

       -Host
           The hostname of the dict website to use. For the moment only dict.leo.org is
           supported, which is also the default - therefore changing the hostname would not make
           much sense.

       -Port
           The tcp port to use for connecting, the default is 80, you shouldn't change it.

       -UserAgent
           The user-agent to send to dict.leo.org site. Currently this is the default:

            Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

       -Proxy
           Fully qualified proxy server. Specify as you would do in the well known environment
           variable http_proxy, example:

            -Proxy => "http://192.168.1.1:3128"

       -ProxyUser -ProxyPass
           If your proxy requires authentication, use these parameters to specify the
           credentials.

       -Debug
           If enabled (set to 1), prints a lot of debug information to stderr, normally only
           required for developers or to report bugs (see below).

       Parameters to control behavior of dict.leo.org:

       -Language
           Translation direction. Please note that dict.leo.org always translates either to or
           from german.

           The following languages are supported: english, polish, spanish, portuguese russian
           and chinese.

           You can  specify only the country  code, or append de2  in order to force translation
           to german, or  preprend de2 in order to translate to the other language.

           Valid examples:

            ru     to or from russian
            de2pl  to polish
            es2de  spanish to german

           Valid country codes:

            en    english
            es    spanish
            fr    french
            ru    russian
            pt    portuguese
            pl    polish
            ch    chinese

           Default: en.

METHODS

   translate($term)
       Use this method after initialization to connect to dict.leo.org and translate the given
       term. It returns an array of hashes containing the actual results.

        use WWW::Dict::Leo::Org;
        use Data::Dumper;
        my $leo = new WWW::Dict::Leo::Org();
        my @matches = $leo->translate("test");
        print Dumper(\@matches);

       which prints:

        $VAR1 = [
                {
                 'data' => [
                            {
                             'left' => 'check',
                             'right' => 'der Test'
                            },
                            {
                             'left' => 'quiz (Amer.)',
                             'right' => 'der Test    [Schule]'
                            ],
                            'title' => 'Unmittelbare Treffer'
                          },
                 {
                  'data' => [
                             {
                              'left' => 'to fail a test',
                              'right' => 'einen Test nicht bestehen'
                             },
                             {
                              'left' => 'to test',
                              'right' => 'Tests macheneinen Test machen'
                             }
                            ],
                  'title' => 'Verben und Verbzusammensetzungen'
                 },
                 'data' => [
                            {
                             'left' => 'testing  adj.',
                             'right' => 'im Test'
                            }
                           ],
                 'title' => 'Wendungen und Ausdrücke'
                }
               ];

       You might take a look at the leo script how to process this data.
