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: -SpellTolerance Be tolerant to spelling errors. Default: turned on. Possible values: on, off. -Morphology Provide morphology information. Default: standard. Possible values: standard, none, forcedAll. -CharTolerance Allow umlaut alternatives. Default: relaxed. Possible values: fuzzy, exact, relaxed. -Language Translation direction. Please note that dict.leo.org always translates either to or from german. The following values can be used: de Alias for de2en - german to english. fr Alias for de2fr - german to french. es Alias for de2es - german to espaniol. en2de english to german. fr2de french to german. es2de espaniol to german.
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 Ausdruecke' } ]; You might take a look at the leo script how to process this data. maxsize() Returns the size of the largest returned term (left side). lines() Returns the number of translation results. form() Returns the submitted form uri.
