NAME

Net::Blogger::Engine::Base - base class for Blogger API engines

SYNOPSIS

 package Net::Blogger::Engine::SuperFly;

 use vars qw ( @ISA );
 @ISA = qw ( Net::Blogger::Engine::Base );
 use Net::Blogger::Engine::Base;

 sub new {
    my $pkg = shift;

    my $self = {};
    bless $self,$pkg;
    
    $self->SUPER::init(@_);
    return $self;
 }

DESCRIPTION

Base.pm is used a base class by implementation specific modules for the Blogger API.

If an implementation follows the Blogger API to the letter then, conceivably, all it's package would need to define is a constructor and Proxy method to define the URI of it's XML-RPC server.

Base.pm inherits the functionality of Net::Blogger::Base::API and Net::Blogger::Base::Ext and defines private methods used by each.

CONSTRUCTOR METHODS

• password

  String. A valid password for the username/blogid pair.

• Updated POD

0.1.1

• The XML-RPC client is instantiated and set using a discreet object (rather than via a hash key for the Bloggger.pm object) because the XMLRPC::Lite::proxy method and the Net::Blogger::Engine::Base::Proxy method (which is AUTOLOAD-ed) are getting confused. (WTF?)
• No need to pass $self to &_ClientFault.
