Net::Laconica - Perl extension for fetching from, and sending notices/messages to Laconica instances
Version 0.08
use Net::Laconica; my $identi = Net::Laconica->new( uri => 'http://identi.ca/', username => 'alanhaggai', password => 'topsecret' ); print map { $_, "\n" } $identi->fetch;
This module is designed to support fetching and sending messages to Laconica instances.
fetch
send
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
username
password
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 for the Laconica instance.
username => 'alanhaggai'
Password for the Laconica instance.
Password is required only if you wish to send messages.
my $identi = Net::Laconica->new( uri => 'http://identi.ca/', username => 'alanhaggai', password => 'topsecret' );
Or:
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.
my @messages = $laconica->fetch; # Fetches the top 10 messages # (If there exists less than 10 messages, # they are all returned)
my @messages = $laconica->fetch(3); # Fetches the top 3 messages
Sends a message.
Returns 0 if an error occurs.
0
if( $laconica->send('Hello world') ) { print 'Message sent successfully.'; }
