Arguments are passed in a key/value fashion. So far there is only one argument C. =head3 C ->new( ua => { agent => 'Foo', timeout => 30, }, ); B. Takes a hashref as a value. This hashref will be directly dereferenced into L object used by this module. For possible arguments see L documentation. B C<< { timeout => 30 } >> =head1 METHODS =head2 C my $ratings = $rate->fetch or die $rate->error; Takes no arguments. Instructs the object to fetch the RSS feed on L. On success returns an I of hashrefs, which are described below. On failure returns either C or an empty list, depending on the context, in which case the C method will return the explanation of the error. The elements (hashrefs) in the returned arrayref represent cpanratings reviews, in reverse-chronological order (i.e. newest first). The format of each hashref is as follows: $VAR1 = { 'link' => 'http://cpanratings.perl.org/#4446', 'comment' => 'This module has failed on all swf\'s ive tried it on. All attempts at transcoding has resulted in contentless flv that will not play. ', 'creator' => 'Dave Williams', 'dist' => 'FLV-Info', 'rating' => '1' }; =head3 C { 'link' => 'http://cpanratings.perl.org/#4446', } The C key will contain a string which represents a link to the review. =head3 C { 'comment' => 'This module has failed on all swf\'s ive tried it on. All attempts at transcoding has resulted in contentless flv that will not play. } The C key will contain a string representing the (often partial, starting from the beginning) content of the review. =head3 C { 'creator' => 'Dave Williams', } The C key will contain a string which represents the name of the person who created the review. =head3 C { 'dist' => 'FLV-Info', } The C key will contain a string which is the name of the distribution that was reviewed. =head3 C { 'rating' => '1' } { 'rating' => 'N/A' } The C key will contain the rating of the distribution given by the creator of the review. It will either be the number of "stars" or 'N/A' if no rating was given. =head2 C my $unique_ref => $rate->fetch_unique or die $rate->error; my $unique_ref => $rate->fetch_unique('some.file') or die $rate->error; In case of an error will return either C or an empty list and the error message will be available via C method. The C method is the same as C method and B the arrayref in the same format. The difference is that C will read/store any reviews that it were already reported and will only return the ones that haven't been reported yet. You can use this method to implement "new cpan ratings" announcements. Takes one B argument which is a scalar containing the name of the file into which to store the already reported reviews which is the same file from which the module will attempt to read already reported reviews. The argument will B C<'cpan_ratings.rss.storable'> if not specified. =head2 C my $ratings = $rate->fetch or die $rate->error; In case of an error during the call to C method, the C method will return a string which describes the reason for failure. =head2 C $rate->fetch or die $rate->error; my $ratings = $rate->ratings; Must be called after a successful call to C method. Returns the exact same arrayref as the last call to C returned; =head2 C $rate->fetch_unique or die $rate_error; my $ratings_unique = $rate->ratings_unique; Must be called after a successful call to C method. Returns the exact same arrayref as the last call to C method returned. =head2 C my $ua_obj = $rate->ua; $rate->ua( LWP::UserAgent->new ); Returns an L object used internally for fetching the RSS feed. When called with an optional argument, which must be an L or a compatible object, will use the provided object in any subsequent calls to C method. =head1 PREREQUISITES For healthy operation this module needs L, L and L =head1 EXAMPLES The C directory of this distributing contains a script that shows the usage of both C and C =head1 AUTHOR Zoffix Znet, C<< >> (L, L) =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
