=head1 NAME
Net::Backpack - Perl extension for interfacing with Backpack
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::Backpack;
my $bp = Net::Backpack(user => $your_backpack_username,
token => $your_backpack_api_token,
ssl => $use_ssl);
# Fill out a Perl data structure with information about
# your Backspace pages.
my $pages = $bp->list_all_pages;
# Alternatively get the same information in XML format
# my $pages = $bp->list_all_pages(xml => 1);
# Create a new page
my $page = $bp->create_page(title => 'A test page',
description => 'Created with the Backpack API');
# Get the id of the new page
my $page_id = $page->{page}{id};
# Get details of the new page (in XML format)
my $page_xml = $bp->show_page(id => $page->{page}{id});
# Rename the page
$bp->update_title(id => $page_id,
title => 'A new title');
# Change the body
$bp->update_description(id => $page_id,
description => 'Something new');
# Remove the page
$bp->destroy_page(id => $page_id);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Net::Backpack provides a thin Perl wrapper around the Backpack API
(L). Currently it only implements the
parts of the API that manipulate Backpack pages. Future releases
will increase the coverage.
=head2 Getting Started
In order to use the Backpack API, you'll need to have a Backpack
API token. And in order to get one of those, you'll need a Backpack
account. But then again, the API will be pretty useless to you if
you don't have a Backpack account to manipulate with it.
You can get a Backpack account from L.
=head2 Backback API
The Backpack API is based on XML over HTTP. You send an XML message
over HTTP to the Backpack server and the server sends a response to
you which is also in XML. The format of the various XML requests and
responses are defined at L.
This module removes the need to deal with any XML. You create an
object to talk to the Backpack server and call methods on that object
to manipulate your Backpage pages. The values returned from Backpack
are converted to Perl data structures before being handed back to
you (although it is also possible to get back the raw XML).
=head1 Important Note
Net::Backpack uses XML::Simple to parse the data that is returned from
Backpack. From version 1.10 of Net::Backpack has changed. By default we
now pass the parameter C 1> to XML::Simple. This will
change the Perl data structure returned by most calls.
To get the old behaviour back, you can pass the parameter C 0> to the C function.

=head1 METHODS
=head2 $bp = Net::Backpack->new(token => $token, user => $user, [forcearray => 0], ssl => 0);
Creates a new Net::Backpack object. All communication with the
Backpack server is made through this object.
Takes two mandatory arguments, your Backpack API token and your
Backpack username. Returns the new Net:Backpack object.
There is also an optional parameter, forcearray. This controls the
value of the C parameter that is used by C. The
default value is 1.
If the C parameter is provided, then communication will take
place over SSL. This is required for Plus and Premium accounts.
