Wikipedia ... meaningful content

Uhm, i'm not sure that is a problem that actually can be solved by using Perl.... scnr.

Back on topic, since you have the "raw" articles, you have to do multiple things. First, you have to remove all the markup. That alone does not seem trivial, since the MediaWiki format is a big mess to begin with. It's actually messy enough that more and more editors quit and the MediaWiki developers don't seem to be able to come up with a working visual editor.

A quick and dirty solution for this would be to try to use one of the MediaWiki-to-HTML converters like Text::Markup::Mediawiki and then scrape the text by using something like HTML::Extract.

Then, you can split resulting text on whitespaces. For each word then increment the counter in the hash.

since sometimes words are also used as double words (like "flying dutchman"), you might want to count them as well and see where it leads you. For this, consider 774421.

"I know what i'm doing! Look, what could possibly go wrong? All i have to pull this lever like so, and then press this button here like ArghhhhhaaAaAAAaaagraaaAAaa!!!"

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
