=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WWW::TarPipe;
my $tp = WWW::TarPipe->new(

=item * Transforming documents on-the-fly;
=item * Managing repeatable upload actions.

=head1 INTERFACE
=head2 C<< new >>
Create a new WWW::TarPipe. Accepts a number of key, value pairs. The
following arguments are recognised:
=over
=item C<< base_uri >>
The base URI for the tarpit REST service. Defaults to
http://rest.receptor.tarpipe.net:8000/
=item C<< title >>
The title of the data being posted.
=item C<< body >>
A larger chunk of text associated with this post such as a blog post.
=item C<< image >>
A chunk of binary data - perhaps an image - for this post.
=item C<< key >>
The token generated when you save a REST API workflow.
=back
Any options not passed to C<< new >> may be passed to a subsequent call
to C<< upload >>, for example:
my $tp = WWW::TarPipe->new(
key => '77c38f56696963fa13f5b6cd97a2556c'
);
$tp->upload(
title => 'The outside temperature is 27C'
);
is equivalent to
my $tp = WWW::TarPipe->new;
$tp->upload(
key => '77c38f56696963fa13f5b6cd97a2556c',
title => 'The outside temperature is 27C'
);
When making multiple posts to the same workflow it is convenient to
supply unchanging options as arguments to C<< new >> and pass those that
change to C<< upload >>.
=cut
sub new {
my $class = shift;
return bless {
base_uri => $class->default_base_uri,
$class->_check_args( @_ )
}, $class;
}
=head2 C<< upload >>
Send an upload request to the tarpit.com REST service. A number of key,
value argument pairs should be passed. See C<< new >> above for details
of the arguments that can be specified.
$tp->upload(
key => '77c38f56696963fa13f5b6cd97a2556c',
title => 'Hello, World',
body => "First Post!\nYay me!\n"
);
If the request fails an exception will be thrown.

}

return %got;
}
=head2 Accessors
Each of the options that may be supplied to C<< new >> and C<< upload >>
have a corresponding read only accessor.
=head3 C<< base_uri >>
The base URI for the tarput service.
=head3 C<< title >>
The title of the post.
=head3 C<< body >>
The body of the post.
=head3 C<< image >>
Arbitrary image data.
=head3 C<< key >>
The REST key for the workflow.
