DESCRIPTION

This package implements methods supported by the UserLand weblogUpdates framework, for the weblogs.com website.

PACKAGE METHODS

$pkg = __PACKAGE__->new(%args)

Valid arguments are

• transport

  String. Valid transports are SOAP and XMLRPC and REST. required

• debug

  Boolean. Enable transport-specific debugging.

OBJECT METHODS

$pkg->ping(\%args)

Ping the Userland servers and tell them your weblog has been updated.

Valid arguments are a hash reference whose keys are :

• name

  String. The name of your weblog. required

• url

  String. The URI of your weblog. required

• changesurl

  String.

  This key may be specified if

  • The object's transport is REST and the site in question "need two urls, one that we can verify changes for, and the other to be included in changes.xml."
  • You are passing a category key with your ping. In fact, it's required if you're doing that.
• category

  String.

  Categories are not supported if the object's transport is REST.

Returns true or false. This means that, unlike the Userland server itself, a successful ping returns 1 and a failed ping returns 0.

$pkg->ping_message()

Return the message that was sent with your last ping response.

$pkg->Transport($transport,%args)

Set the transport for use with the package. Valid transports are SOAP, XMLRPC and REST. This field is required.
