Net::Mollom - interface with Mollom web API
Communicate with the Mollom web API (http://mollom.com/) via XML-RPC to determine whether user input is Spam, Ham, flame or obscene.
my $mollom = Net::Mollom->new(
public_key => 'a2476604ffba00c907478c8f40b83b03',
private_key => '42d5448f124966e27db079c8fa92de0f',
);
my @server_list = $mollom->server_list();
my $check = $mollom->check_content(
post_title => $title,
post_body => $text,
);
if ($check->is_spam) {
warn "someone's trying to sell us v1@grA!";
} elsif ($check->is_unsure) {
# show them a CAPTCHA to see if they are really human
my $captcha_url = $mollom->get_image_captcha();
} elsif ($check->quality < .5) {
warn "someone's trying to flame us!";
}
If you have any questions about how any of the methods work, please consult the Mollom API documentation - http://mollom.com/api.
This creates a new NET::Mollom object for communication. It takes the following named arguments:
This is your Mollom API public key.
This is your Mollom API private key.
This is the number of times Net::Mollom will try to refresh the server list before giving up. Defaults to 1.
This boolean turns on warnings. You will get warnings for the following situations:
Check to make sure that Mollom recognizes your public and private keys. Returns true if successful, false otherwise. This is not necessary to use in your application, but can be used when doing initial development or testing.
if( $mollom->verify_key ) {
# go a head and do stuff
} else {
# doh! you screwed up somewhere
}
Check some content for spamminess and quality. Takes the following optional named arguments:
Returns a Net::Mollom::ContentCheck object.
my $check = $mollom->check_content(
post_title => $title,
post_body => $body,
author_name => 'Michael Peters',
author_mail => 'mpeters@p3.com',
author_id => 12345,
);
Send feedback to Mollom about their rating of your content. Take sthe following optional named parameters:
A string value of either spam, profanity, low-quality, or unwanted.
The id of the session where the content was checed (by a call to check_content).
$mollom->send_feedback
Returns the URL of an image CAPTCHA. This should only be called if the last message checked was marked is_unsure. Not for is_spam or is_ham. It takes the following optional parameters:
The IP address of the content author
The Mollom session_id. Normally you don't need to worry about this since Net::Mollom will take care of it for you.
Returns the URL of an audio CAPTCHA (mp3 file). This should only be called if the last message checked was marked is_unsure. Not for is_spam or is_ham. It takes the following optional parameters:
The IP address of the content author
The Mollom session_id. Normally you don't need to worry about this since Net::Mollom will take care of it for you.
Check that what the user entered matches the last CAPTCHA that Mollom sent as part of this session. Takes the following named arguments:
The user's answer to the CAPTCHA
Returns true if correct, false otherwise.
This method will ask Mollom what servers to use. The list of servers is saved in the Net::Mollom package and reused on subsequent calls to the API. Normally you won't need to call this method on it's own since it will be called for you when you use another part of the API.
my @servers = $mollom->server_list();
# or if you've saved the list in a more permanent data store
$mollom->server_list(@servers);
This method gets your Mollom usage statistics. It takes the following required named parameters:
Must be one of total_days, total_accepted, total_rejected, yesterday_accepted, yesterday_rejected, today_accepted, today_rejected.
Will return the count for the specific statistic type you requested.
