VERSION

Version 0.15

SYNOPSIS

THIS MODULE IS STILL UNDER INITIAL DEVELOPMENT! BE WARNED!

    use WWW::FMyLife;

    my $fml = WWW::FMyLife->new();
    print map { "Items: $_\n" } $fml->last( { as => text' } );

    foreach my $item (@items) {
        my $item_id      = $item->id;
        my $item_content = $item->content;
        print "[$item_id] $item_content\n";
    }

    print $fml->random()->text, "\n";
    ...

EXPORT

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

last()

Fetches the last quotes. Can accept a hashref that indicates the formatting:

    # returns an array of WWW::FMyLife::Item objects
    $fml->last();

    # or more explicitly
    $fml->last( { as => 'object' } ); # same as above
    $fml->last( { as => 'text'   } ); # returns an array of text anecdotes
    $fml->last( { as => 'data'   } ); # returns an array of hashes of anecdotes

You can also specify which page you want:

    # return 1st page
    my @last = fml->last();

    # return 5th page
    my @last = $fml->last(5);

    # same
    my @last = $fml->last( { page => 5 } );
