README for ddc-perl ABSTRACT DDC::Concordance - Query and wrapper utilities for DDC concordance search engine REQUIREMENTS IO::Socket::INET NetServer::Generic (for server wrapping) Text::Wrap Lingua::LTS (for LTS wrapping, see 'grimm/lts/Lingua-LTS' directory in the DWDS CVS Repository) a running DDC server (for client connection) Current sources for the DDC search engine should be available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddc-concordance/ DESCRIPTION The ddc-perl package provides object-oriented wrappers for querying and/or wrapping a DDC corpus index server. Also included in the distribution are some example scripts for querying a server, simple query expansion using an LTS transducer and an indexed 'pho' field, as well as a drop-in wrapper for an underlying DDC server which performs transparent query translation for an indexed 'pho' field. Current Version Current sources for this module should be available from CPAN ( http://metacpan.org/release/ddc-perl ) or via sourceforce ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddc-concordance/files/ddc-perl/ ). KNOWN BUGS Conflicting CPAN module names Unforunately, the top-level DDC namespace conflicts with another module on CPAN, namely Torsten Raudssus' "DDC" from the "Data-Coloured" distribution ( https://metacpan.org/pod/DDC ). As a workaround to this problem, the top-level module for this package has been renamed to 'DDC::Concordance' in ddc-perl v0.17. For backwards-compatibility, this distribution also contains a 'DDC.pm' which simply includes the new top-level 'DDC::Concordance' module. Subclass names (e.g. DDC::Client) have not been changed.
