sitemapper - script for generating site maps
sitemapper [ -verbose ] [ -help ] [-doc ] [ -depth <depth> ] [ -proxy <proxy URL> ] [ -title <page title> ] -site <base URL>
sitemapper generates site maps for a given site. It traverses a site from the base URL
given as the -site option and generates an HTML page consisting of a bulleted list which
reflects the structure of the site.
The structure reflects the distance from the home page of the pages listed;
i.e. the first level bullets are pages accessible directly from the home
page, the next level, pages accessible from those pages, etc. Obviously,
pages that are linked from ``higher'' up pages may appear in the ``wrong
place'' in the tree, than they ``belong''.
The sitemap generated is pretty simple, and suffers from trying to
represent a three dimensional structure in a 2 dimensional way.
- -depth
-
Option to specify the depth of the site map generated. If no specified,
generates a sitemap of unlimited depth.
- -site
-
Option to specify a base URL to generate a site map for.
- -proxy
-
Specify an HTTP proxy to use.
- -title
-
Option to specify a page title for the site map.
- -help
-
Display a short help message to standard output, with a brief description
of purpose, and supported command-line switches.
- -doc
-
Display the full documentation for the script, generated from the embedded
pod format doc.
- -verbose
-
Enable verbose reporting as the script runs.
sitemapper makes use of the $http_proxy environment variable, if it is set.
Should use WWW::Robot to do the site traversal.
