=head1 NAME
Captcha::reCAPTCHA - A Perl implementation of the reCAPTCHA API
=head1 VERSION
This document describes Captcha::reCAPTCHA
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Captcha::reCAPTCHA;
my $c = Captcha::reCAPTCHA->new;
# Output form
print $c->get_html( 'your public key here' );
# Verify submission
my $result = $c->check_answer(
'your private key here', $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'},
$challenge, $response
);
if ( $result->{is_valid} ) {
print "Yes!";
}
else {
# Error
$error = $result->{error};
}
For complete examples see the /examples subdirectory
=head1 DESCRIPTION
reCAPTCHA is a hybrid mechanical turk and captcha that allows visitors
who complete the captcha to assist in the digitization of books.
From L<http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html>:
reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that
cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for
humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read
correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is
possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read
correctly.
This Perl implementation is modelled on the PHP interface that can be
found here:
L<http://recaptcha.net/plugins/php/>
To use reCAPTCHA you need to register your site here:
L<https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create>
=head1 INTERFACE
=over
=item C<< new >>
Create a new C<< Captcha::reCAPTCHA >>.
=item C<< get_html( $pubkey, $error, $use_ssl, $options ) >>
Generates HTML to display the captcha.
print $captcha->get_html( $PUB, $err );
=over
=item C<< $pubkey >>
Your reCAPTCHA public key, from the API Signup Page
=item C<< $error >>
Optional. If set this should be either a string containing a reCAPTCHA
status code or a result hash as returned by C<< check_answer >>.
=item C<< $use_ssl >>
Optional. Should the SSL-based API be used? If you are displaying a page
to the user over SSL, be sure to set this to true so an error dialog
doesn't come up in the user's browser.
=item C<< $options >>
Optional. A reference to a hash of options for the captcha. See
C<< get_options_setter >> for more details.
=back
Returns a string containing the HTML that should be used to display
the captcha.
=item C<< get_options_setter( $options ) >>
You can optionally customize the look of the reCAPTCHA widget with some
JavaScript settings. C<get_options_setter> returns a block of Javascript
wrapped in <script> .. </script> tags that will set the options to be used
by the widget.
C<$options> is a reference to a hash that may contain the following keys:
=over
=item C<theme>
Defines which theme to use for reCAPTCHA. Possible values are 'red',
'white' or 'blackglass'. The default is 'red'.
=item C<tabindex>
Sets a tabindex for the reCAPTCHA text box. If other elements in the
form use a tabindex, this should be set so that navigation is easier for
the user. Default: 0.
=back
=item C<< check_answer >>
After the user has filled out the HTML form, including their answer for
the CAPTCHA, use C<< check_answer >> to check their answer when they
submit the form. The user's answer will be in two form fields,
recaptcha_challenge_field and recaptcha_response_field. The reCAPTCHA
library will make an HTTP request to the reCAPTCHA server and verify the
user's answer.
=over
=item C<< $privkey >>
Your reCAPTCHA private key, from the API Signup Page.
=item C<< $remoteip >>
The user's IP address, in the format 192.168.0.1.
=item C<< $challenge >>
The value of the form field recaptcha_challenge_field
=item C<< $response >>
The value of the form field recaptcha_response_field.
=back
Returns a reference to a hash containing two fields: C<is_valid>
and C<error>.
my $result = $c->check_answer(
'your private key here', $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'},
$challenge, $response
);
if ( $result->{is_valid} ) {
print "Yes!";
}
else {
# Error
$error = $result->{error};
}
See the /examples subdirectory for examples of how to call C<check_answer>.
Note: this method will make an HTTP request to Google to verify the user input.
If this request must be routed via a proxy in your environment, use the
standard environment variable to specify the proxy address, e.g.:
$ENV{http_proxy} = 'http://myproxy:3128';
=back
