[CWB] CWB/Perl modules: where can it be downloaded?

[Hardie, Andrew]

Since several people said they would be interested in my PHP version, here it is. (attached zip, two files with one class per file).
 
A sample implementation would be as follows:
 
/* the classes need these definitions */
define("IN",  0);
define("OUT", 1);
define("ERR", 2);
require("cwb.inc.php");
require("cqp.inc.php");
 
/* create a CQP object and set it up for use */
$cqp = new CQP;
$cqp->set_error_handler("my_function_name");
$cqp->execute("set DataDirectory '/$cqp_save_directory'");
$cqp->execute("$corpus_name;");
 
/* run the query */
$cqp->execute("$query_name = $text_of_query");
$cqp->execute("save $query_name");
$num_of_solutions = $cqp->querysize($query_name);
 
/* print it */
$cqp->execute("set Context 10 words");
$cqp->execute("show +word +pos");
$array_of_lines_with_query_solutions = $cqp->execute("cat $query_name");
some_print_function($array_of_lines_with_query_solutions);
 
$cqp->disconnect();
 
Hope this of use to some people!
 
best
 
Andrew.

Hi everyone!

I'm not going to comment on Emiliano's misinterpretation of PHP as a 
programming language. ;-)

Having CWB APIs for other languages than Perl would definitely be a 
plus, though, so I'd like to encourage you to share any code you've 
worked out. I hope to sort out the sf.net SVN soon, so that we can 
coordinate further development of such interfaces there.

I know that some people have been working on a Python interface at 
least for CQP -- we're currently working on our own implementation in 
Osnabrück -- and I'd be interested in porting the C API for direct 
corpus access from Perl to Python.

As far as the Perl APIs are concerned, the reason I haven't uploaded 
them to sf.net is that the source code is currently in a mess and 
waiting for a reimplementation (which I have to get done soon anyway 
because of some other project). If you have downloaded the latest CWB 
source code from sf.net, you'll notice that publically available 
versions of the Perl API don't work any more ...

I attach the current messy version of the Perl modules, which anyone 
interested in the Perl API should use as an interim solution until 
the cleaned-up reimplementation becomes available on sf.net.

Sorry about the mess and continuing delays & best wishes,
Stefan
