The Eventful API allows you to build tools and applications that interact with Eventful. This module provides a Perl interface to that API, including the digest-based authentication infrastructure.
See http://api.eventful.com/ for details.

$evdb = WebService::Eventful->new(app_key => $app_key);
Creates a new API object. Requires a valid app_key as provided by Eventful.
You can also specify an API "flavor", such as yaml, to use a different format.
$evdb = WebService::Eventful->new(app_key => $app_key, flavor => 'yaml');
Valid flavors are rest, yaml, and json.
$evdb->login(user => $username, password => $password); $evdb->login(user => $username, password_md5 => $password_md5);
Retrieves an authentication token from the Eventful API server.
$data = $evdb->call($method, \%arguments, [$force_array]);
Calls the specified method with the given arguments and any previous authentication information (including app_key). Returns a hash reference containing the results.
