This greatly simplifies recurring tasks, like feeding the results of a weekly Pubmed search into your database. The simplest way to do this is to use the <a href="cli.html">command line tools</a> in batch mode. For more ambitious projects there is also a Perl module which allows to integrate RefDB functionality into your very own Perl programs.</p> <div class="localnav"> <table class="localnav"> <thead> <tr> <td class="localnav">On this page</td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="localnav"><a href="#general">General features</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="localnav"><a href="#example">Example</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <h2 id="general">General Features</h2> <p class="authors">Author: Markus Hoenicka <mho...@us...></p> <p><strong><a href="pre/RefDBClient-Client-1.11.tar.gz">Download RefDBClient-Client-1.11.tar.gz</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Note:</strong>This version requires <a href="pre/refdb-latest.tar.gz">refdb-0.9.6-pre2 or later</a> or a current CVS version of RefDB.</p> <p>The Perl client module <code>RefDBClient::Client</code> allows Perl programmers to access the refdbd server from Perl scripts. The client/server dialog is implemented entirely in Perl. That is, you don't need the C clients installed on your system in order to run a Perl script using this module. The module allows an object-oriented approach to all RefDB client commands.</p> <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> <p>Creating a Perl script that interacts with refdbd is straightforward and simple. First, you create a new instance of <code>RefDBClient::Client</code> and set the initial communication parameters:</p> <pre class="source"> use RefDBClient::Client; my $client = new RefDBClient::Client; $client->set_conninfo("127.0.0.1", "9734", "markus", "pass", "refdbtest", "/home/markus/literature", "/usr/local/share/refdb/css/refdb.css"); </pre> <p>Now you can call any client command and read the retrieved data, if any, into Perl variables:</p> <pre class="source"> my $summary = $client->refdb_listdb(""); my $data = $client->get_data(); print "$data\n"; </pre> <p>This sixliner prints the available RefDB databases to stdout.</p> <p>Please follow the instructions in the INSTALL file of the archive to install this module properly on your system.</p> </div> <!-- the footer, to be displayed across the page at the bottom --> <div id="foot"> <div id="footleft">$Date: 2005/10/07 22:11:42 $</div> <div id="footright">Copyright 2004 <a href="mailto:mho...@us...">Markus Hoenicka</a></div> </div> </body> </html> |
