Change some URLs from author dirs to dist dirs. The example in the porter's handbook didn't have the trailing slash; mea culpa for not having caught that when it went in.

CQL::Parser provides a mechanism to parse Common Query Language (CQL)
|
|
statements. The best description of CQL comes from the CQL homepage at the
|
|
Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/cql/
|
|
|
|
CQL is a formal language for representing queries to information retrieval
|
|
systems such as web indexes, bibliographic catalogs and museum collection
|
|
information. The CQL design objective is that queries be human readable
|
|
and human writable, and that the language be intuitive while maintaining
|
|
the expressiveness of more complex languages.
|
|
|
|
A CQL statement can be as simple as a single keyword, or as complicated as
|
|
a set of compoenents indicating search indexes, relations, relational
|
|
modifiers, proximity clauses and boolean logic. CQL::Parser will parse CQL
|
|
statements and return the root node for a tree of nodes which describes
|
|
the CQL statement. This data structure can then be used by a client
|
|
application to analyze the statement, and possibly turn it into a query
|
|
for a local repository.
