DESCRIPTION

This class represent objects for the search results returned by Baidu.com.

CONSTRUCTIOR

There's a constructor generated automatically by Class::Accessor, but usually you don't need to construct a WWW::Baidu::Record instance yourself.

Please always use the next method of WWW::Baidu object to get an object of this class.

PROPERTIES

All the properties of this class are read-only and return strings in the GBK/GB2312 encoding. If you want UTF-8, use the Encode module to decode the strings yourself:

use Encode 'decode';
$utf8 = decode('GBK', $gbk);
$value = $obj->title

Returns the matched web page or document's page title.

$value = $obj->url

Returns the absolute URL for the matched web document.

$value = $obj->summary

A brief summary for the matched web document from Baidu.com

$value = $obj->size

Size info for the matched document. Note that it's not an number, instead it's in the form of '32K' or something like that.

$value = $obj->cached_url

Returns the url pointing to the cached version of the matched document on Baidu.com. Note that, for documents with types like DOC, PPT and XSL, there won't be a cached version. So this property always returns undef in these cases.
