NAME

WWW::ColiPoste - Fetch shipping status from ColiPoste

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

    use WWW::ColiPoste;

    my $coliposte = WWW::ColiPoste->new;
    my $status = $coliposte->get_status(tracking_id => $id);

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to fetch the status of packages shipped by ColiPoste, the service from the French national postal service.

Please note that this module works by web-scrapping, and doesn't do any transformation or parsing on the data apart from basic cleanup. Especially, the dates and messages are as given by the web site, in French.

IMPORTANT: Thanks to La Poste corporate thinking, this module is no longer useful (since 2009), because they replaced the texts in the result page with images (just in case their service was still usable).

METHODS

new()

Create a new objet.

get_status()

Fetch the tracking status of the given shipment ID. Returns the corresponding tracking data as an array reference with the following sub-structure:

    [

            site    => STRING,
            status  => STRING,
        },
        ...
    ]

Options

  • tracking_id - (mandatory) tracking ID of the package

  • from - (optional) source URI or file

  • using - (optional) use this LWP agent or code reference for fetching from the remote site
