Is there a WAIS server for Perl?


    Rumor has it that there are WAIS servers out there for comp.lang.perl
    these days, but I haven't used them.  Kevin Gardner <gardner@zinc.csb.yale.edu> 
    offers the following: For WAIS server info, check on the gopher hole
    at mudhoney.micro.umn.edu, port 70.  They've got a rather extensive
    list of WAIS servers at this gopher->WAIS gateway, including a c.l.p.
    archive server.  I don't know how up to date the server actually is,
    as the articles I pulled up from there were all dated from '91.

    Bill Middleton <wjm@feenix.metronet.com> offers this:

    "I have setup a perl script retrieval service and WaisSearch here at
    feenix.  To check it out, just point your gopher at us, and select the
    appropriate menu option.  The WaisSearch is of the iubio type, which
    means you can do boolean searching.  Thus you might try something
    like:

        caller
        ioctl and fcntl
        grep and socket not curses

    and other things to see examples of how other folks have done this
    or that.  This service is still under construction, but I'd like to
    get feedback, if you have some time.

    There's also a WaisSearch into all the RFC's and some other fairly
    nifty stuff."
