Games::Poker::HistoryParser Version 1.51 Parsing online poker hand histories has interested me for a long time. My initial attempts, begun about three years ago, generally ended when I would get sidetracked by real life or other projects. Recently I started a side project to build a system allowing a player to create a poker situation diagram by filling out a web-based form. The diagrams themselves resemble those found in "Harrington On Hold'em" by Dan Harrington's. However, it occurred to me that it would be nice to be able to just paste a hand history into the form and get the diagram back. Not being all that interested in starting another hand history parsing project, I looked at the hand converter written by bisonbison that is in common use by posters to internet message boards. After attempting to understand Bison's hhconverter.cgi script, I decided it would probably be easier for me to just refactor the code and gain understanding that way. This project is the outcome of that refactoring. None of Bison's original code remains. Bison's Hand Converter can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/handconverter INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2005 Troy Denkinger This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
