HtDig::Database Version 0.52, April 20, 2000 DESCRIPTION This module provides a perl interface to the ht://Dig database. It has been tested with ht://Dig 3.1.4, and will probably work with version 3.1.5 as well. Because of changes in the database format, it ***will not work*** with version 3.2 and later. In fact, this implementation is probably a dead end. It tries to duplicate the functions of ht://Dig in perl, but a better solution would be an XS module which would link directly to the ht://Dig code. Until someone gets around to creating such a module, I hope this code provides a useful stopgap solution. EXAMPLES Sample scripts in the "eg" subdirectory show how the HtDig::Database module can be used. PREREQUISITES This package has been tested with perl 5.004_03.
