Net-Laconica NAME Net::Laconica - Perl extension for fetching from, and sending notices/messages to Laconica instances VERSION Version 0.08 SYNOPSIS use Net::Laconica; my $identi = Net::Laconica->new( uri => 'http://identi.ca/', username => 'alanhaggai', password => 'topsecret' ); print map { $_, "\n" } $identi->fetch; DESCRIPTION This module is designed to support "fetch"ing and "send"ing messages to Laconica instances. METHODS The implemented methods are: "new" Returns a blessed hash reference object. This method accepts a hash reference with "uri", "username" and "password" as keys. "uri" and "username" are required, whereas "password" is optional. "uri" Holds the URI to the particular Laconica instance to which the object is to be bound. Example: uri => 'http://identi.ca' # Presence or absence of a trailing slash in the URI does not matter "username" Username for the Laconica instance. Example: username => 'alanhaggai' "password" Password for the Laconica instance. Password is required only if you wish to "send" messages. Example: my $identi = Net::Laconica->new( uri => 'http://identi.ca/', username => 'alanhaggai', password => 'topsecret' ); Or: my $identi = Net::Laconica->new( uri => 'http://identi.ca/', username => 'alanhaggai', password => 'topsecret' ); "fetch" Returns an array of recent messages. Default number of recent messages returned is 10. The value can be changed by passing the value as an argument to the method. Maximum limit for the value is 20. Example: my @messages = $laconica->fetch; # Fetches the top 10 messages # (If there exists less than 10 messages, # they are all returned) Or: my @messages = $laconica->fetch(3); # Fetches the top 3 messages "send" Sends a message. Returns 0 if an error occurs. Example: if( $laconica->send('Hello world') ) { print 'Message sent successfully.'; } TODO These are some features which will be implemented soon: * Migrate to the API once it is made a standard * Delete notices * Subscriptions * Profile * Favourites * Replies * Inbox * Outbox * Avatars AUTHOR Alan Haggai Alavi, "" BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-net-laconica at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at .
