NAME
WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::Create - paste on www.pastebin.com without
API keys
WARNING!!!
IMPORANT. Please read.
You kinda, sorta, maybe shouldn't really use this module. Use
WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::API instead. Pastebin.com switched to a
key-based API (which is what "::API" version implements), and using
this, keyless, module lets you paste only 10 pastes per day.
The limit is higher with the WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::API module, so
check it out.
This module primarily exists for use with App::Nopaste.
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::Create;
my $bin = WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::Create->new;
# all options as defaults
my $paste_uri = $bin->paste( text => 'Some text to paste' )
or die $bin->error;
# all options as custom (module's defaults are shown)
my $paste_uri = $bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
format => 'none', # no syntax highlights
expiry => 'm', # expire after a month
private => 1, # make the paste unlisted
desc => '', # no "title/name" for the paste
) or die $bin->error;
# object's ->paste_uri() method is overloaded to string interpolation:
print "Your paste uri is $bin\n";
DESCRIPTION
This module provides the means to paste on www.pastebin.com pastebin,
without the need for API keys <http://pastebin.com/api>. See the
WARNING!!! section above.
METHODS
"new"
my $bin = WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::Create->new;
Creates and returns a brand new WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::Create
object. Does not take any arguments.
"paste"
my $paste_uri = $bin->paste( text => 'Some text to paste' )
or die $bin->error;
$bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
format => 'perl', # perl syntax highlights
expiry => 'asap', # expire in 10 minutes
private => 1, # make the paste unlisted
desc => 'Some title', # "title/name" for the paste
) or die $bin->error;
Pastes to the pastebin. On succcess returns the link to the
newly-created paste (see also the overloaded "->paste_uri" method
below). On failure returns "undef" or an empty list, depending on the
context, and the human-readable error message will be available via the
"->error" method. Takes arguments as key/value pairs. Argument "text" is
mandatory, the rest are optional. Possible arguments are as follows:
"text"
$bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
) or die $bin->error;
Mandatory. Takes a string as a value that contains the text to paste.
"private"
$bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
private => 1, # make the paste unlisted
) or die $bin->error;
Optional. This really should be named "unlisted", but for compatibility
with old code is still named "private". Takes true or value as a value.
If set to a true value, the paste will be "unlisted" (i.e. people will
be able to access them if they have a link, but the paste will not be
announced on the pastebin.com home page), otherwise the paste will be
public and listed on the home page. To make private pastes, you need to
be logged in; use WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::API if you need that
feature. Defaults to: 1 (make pastes unlisted).
"desc"
$bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
desc => '', # no "title/name" for the paste
) or die $bin->error;
Optional. Takes a string as a value that specifies the title/name for
the paste. If this string is longer than 60 characters, it will be
truncated and "..." will be appended to the end of it. By default is not
specified.
"expiry"
$bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
expiry => 'm', # expire after a month
) or die $bin->error;
Optional. Takes an expiry code as a value that specifies when the paste
should expire. Defaults to: "m" (expire after a month). Valid expiry
codes are as follows (there are multiple possible codes for each
duration; they are equivalent):
# Expire after 10 Minutes
10m
m10
asap
# Expire after 1 Hour
h
1h
# Expire after 1 Day
d
1d
soon
# Expire after 1 Week
w
1w
awhile
# Expire after 2 weeks
2w
w2
# Expire after 1 Month
1m
m
m1
eventually
# Never expire
n
never
"format"
$bin->paste(
text => 'Some text to paste',
format => 'C++ (with QT extensions)',
) or die $bin->error;
Optional. Takes a format code as a value that specifies the paste text
format (what syntax highlights to use). Defaults to: "none" (no syntax
highlights). Possible values are as follows; they are case-insensitive:
None
Bash
C
C#

"error"
$bin->paste( text => 'Some text to paste' )
or die $bin->error;
If an error occurs during pasting, the "->paste" method will return an
"undef" or an empty list, depending on the context, and the
human-readable error message will be available via the "->error" method.
"paste_uri"
$bin->paste( text => 'Some text to paste' )
or die $bin->error;
print "Your paste is at " . $bin->paste_uri . "\n";
print "Your paste is at $bin\n";
Takes no arguments. Will return the link to the newly-created paste,
after a successful call to "->paste". This method is overloaded for
string interpolation, meaning you can simply interpolate the
"WWW::Pastebin::PastebinCom::Create" object in a string to insert the
link to the paste.
NOTE ON VERSION 0.004 AND EARLIER
At version 0.004, this module was taken out the back and shot in the
face, as the www.pastebin.com update completely broke it. As some code
still relied on it, it was resurrected and forced to work, but large
bits of module's API have changed. If for whatever reason you need the
old, non-working, implementation, you can still access it on backpan and
can install it using:
cpan http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/Z/ZO/ZOFFIX/WWW-Pastebin-PastebinCom-Create-0.004.tar.gz
