WWW::Dict::Leo::Org

Interface module to dictionary dict.leo.org

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

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.

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

All parameters are optional.

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.
The tcp port to use for connecting, the default is 80, you shouldn't change it.
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
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"
If your proxy requires authentication, use these parameters to specify the credentials.
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:

Be tolerant to spelling errors.

Default: turned on.

Possible values: on, off.

Provide morphology information.

Default: standard.

Possible values: standard, none, forcedAll.

Allow umlaut alternatives.

Default: relaxed.

Possible values: fuzzy, exact, relaxed.

Translation direction. Please note that dict.leo.org always translates either to or from german. The following values can be used:
Alias for de2en - german to english.
Alias for de2fr - german to french.
Alias for de2es - german to espaniol.
english to german.
french to german.
espaniol to german.

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'
          }
        ];
