Version 0.01 ** Alpha Release **
This module provides access to PerlMonks.
This is an Alpha release, there are features such as posting posts and replies that are not implemented ( See TODO section ).
Details on the Original API can be found at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=72241
Each function returns a hash that consists of the original XML parsed through XML::Smart - The original XML can be accessed through $result->{ RAW_XML }
Example:
use WWW::PerlMonks; my $ob = new WWW::PerlMonks( USERNAME => 'username' , # Optional - Required for functions that require authentication. PASSWORD => 'password' , # Optional - Required for functions that require authentication. USER_AGENT => 'WWW_PerlMonks' , # Optional - default 'WWW_PerlMonks' . $VERSION DEBUG => 0 , # Optional - default - 0 ); # my $hash = $ob->get_chatterbox() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_private_messages() ; # my $hash = $ob->send_chatter() ; # Unimplemented # my $hash = $ob->get_user_nodes_info() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_user_nodes_reputation() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_user_XP() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_online_users() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_newest_nodes() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_node_details( [ '72241', '507312' ] ) ; # my $hash = $ob->get_node_thread( '1015083' ) ; # my $hash = $ob->get_scratch_pad() ; # Unimplemented # my $hash = $ob->get_best_nodes() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_worst_nodes() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_selected_best_nodes() ; # my $hash = $ob->get_nav_info_for_node('72241') ;
The is an Object Oriented Modules and does not export anything.
Usage:

This function provides an interface to the Navigational Nodelet - Description from Original API Follows:
PerlMonks automation clients can use this to spider the site in various ways. Its concept of operation is just like that of the Node Navigator nodelet: given a node (by ID), it reports the previous and next node, the previous and next of the same node type (e.g. Meditation), and the previous and next by the same author. Optionally, it lets you request the previous/next node, relative to the given node, of a different type or by a different author.
Information on the search, including the search parameters and any error conditions, is reported in the <info> "header" element of the result.
Parameters :
nodeID - of the reference node ( Required ) nodetype - id of the desired node type (optional) author - id of the desired author (that is, their homenode id) (optional)
These functions are used by the module. They are not meant to be called directly using the Net::XMPP::Client::GTalk object although there is nothing stoping you from doing that.
This function retrieves the contents of a web url.
This function provides the mapping from functions used within this module and the PerlMonks API.
This function picks the user to use based on context, user passed and ( if exists ) authenticated user.
