WWW::Search::WashPost(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				WWW::Search::WashPost(3pm)

NAME
WWW::Search::WashPost - WWW::Search backend for searching www.washingtonpost.com SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Search; my $oSearch = new WWW::Search('WashPost'); my $sQuery = WWW::Search::escape_query("japan prime minister"); $oSearch->native_query($sQuery); while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result()) { print $oResult->url, " "; } DESCRIPTION
This class is a specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting searches on news at The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com. This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects. NOTES
In the resulting WWW::SearchResult objects, the following elements will be set (in addition to the usual title, description, etc.): source Something like "Post" or a certain "Edition". location The page number of the print edition, e.g. "E05". category The type of item found, either "Article" or "Photo". seller The author or photographer. SEE ALSO
To make new backends, see WWW::Search. CAVEATS
This backend (and all its subclasses) only searches news stories from the last 14 days. (This is a restriction on the Washington Post website that we can not avoid.) BUGS
