I abondoned the idea. To do the indexing I envisioned justice, I would have had to download the greater majority of PM's nodes. At the mandated rate of 1 every 5 seconds+, it would require 500 hours. Split that into 2 hour chunks of connect time and it becomes untenable.

Hence I've never bothered to extend the scripts beyond their simplist form:

PMDown.pl takes a filename containing a list of PM nodeid's to download:

BewareEven with 1 thread running, this will far exceed the download rate approved.

#! perl -slw use strict; use threads qw[ yield async ]; use Thread::Queue; use LWP::Simple; $|=1; our $THREADS ||= 4; my $Qwork = new Thread::Queue; my $Qresults = new Thread::Queue; sub work{ my $tid = threads->self->tid(); sleep 1 until $Qwork->pending; while( $Qwork->pending or ( sleep(1) and $Qwork->pending ) ) { my $work = $Qwork->dequeue; print "$tid checking: $work"; if( -e "c:/perlmonks/$work.xml" and not -z _ ) { $Qresults->enqueue( "$work returned exists not fetched" ); next; } print "$tid fetching: $work"; my $rc = getstore( "http://perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=$work&displaytype=x +ml", "c:/perlmonks/$work.xml" ); $Qresults->enqueue( "$work returned $rc" ); } return; } my @t = map{ threads->new( \&work ) } 1 .. $THREADS; open IN, '<', $ARGV[ 0 ] or die "$ARGV[ 0 ] : $!"; my $cResults = 0; while( <IN> ) { chomp; $Qwork->enqueue( $_ ) and $cResults++; sleep 1 while $Qwork->pending > 100; } $_->join for @t; my %summary; $Qresults->dequeue =~ m[(\S+) returned (\S+)] and push @{ $summary{ $2 } }, $1 while $Qresults->pending; for my $key ( sort keys %summary ) { print $key, scalar @{ $summary{ $key } }; } printf 'Enter to see details or ^C'; <STDIN>; for my $key ( sort keys %summary ) { print $key; my $details = join ' ', @{ $summary{ $key } }; $details =~ s[.{1,80} ][\n]g; print $details; }

ExtractWords.pl

#! perl -slw use G; my %words; while( <> ) { $words{ $_ }++ for m[\b([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z']+[a-zA-Z])\b]g; } open WORDS, '>', 'words.dat' or die $!; print WORDS for sort keys %words; close WORDS;

IndexDocs.pl

#! perl -slw use strict; use G; $|=1; chomp( my @words = do{ open my $fh, '<words.dat'; <$fh> } ); print "loaded: " . @words . ' words'; local $/; my %index; @index{ @ARGV } = ('') x @ARGV; while( <> ) { chomp( my $file = lc ); 1+index( $file, $words[ $_ ] ) and vec( $index{ $ARGV }, $_, 1 ) = 1 for 0 .. $#words; } open INDEX, '>', 'index.dat' or die $!; print INDEX "$_(@{[ unpack '%b*', $index{ $_ } ]}) : [@{[ unpack 'b*', + $index{ $_ } ]}]" for sort keys %index; close INDEX;

Note: G.pm is Jenda's module that does wildcard ARGV expansion.

The result of processing is a file that looks like this:

But I manually filtered the intermediate words list.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.
