Search::Lemur 1.00

Search::Lemur is a Perl class to query a Lemur server, and parse the results.

SYNOPSYS

use Search::Lemur;

my $lem = Search::Lemur->new("http://url/to/lemur.cgi");

# run some queries, and get back an array of results
# a query with a single term:
my @results1 = $lem->query("encryption");
# a query with two terms:
my @results2 = $lem->query("encryption MD5");

# get corpus term frequency of MD5:
my $md5ctf = $results2[1]->ctf();

This module will make it easy to interact with a Lemur Toolkit for Language Modeling and Information Retrieval server for information retreival exercises. For more information on Lemur, see http://www.lemurproject.org/.

This module takes care of all parsing of responses from the server. You can just pass a query as a space-separated list of terms, and the module will give you back an array of result objects.
