VERSION
Version 0.08
SYNOPSIS

username => 'alanhaggai',
password => 'topsecret'
);
print map { $_, "\n" } $identi->fetch;DESCRIPTION
This module is designed to support fetching and sending messages to Laconica instances.
METHODS
The implemented methods are:
newReturns a blessed hash reference object. This method accepts a hash reference with uri, username and password as keys. uri and username are required, whereas password is optional.
uriHolds the URI to the particular Laconica instance to which the object is to be bound.
Example:
uri => 'http://identi.ca' # Presence or absence of a trailing slash in the URI does not matter
usernameUsername for the Laconica instance.
Example:
username => 'alanhaggai'
passwordPassword for the Laconica instance.
Password is required only if you wish to send messages.
Example:
my $identi = Net::Laconica->new(
uri => 'http://identi.ca/',
username => 'alanhaggai',
password => 'topsecret'
);Or:
my $identi = Net::Laconica->new(
uri => 'http://identi.ca/',
username => 'alanhaggai',
password => 'topsecret'
);fetchReturns an array of recent messages.
Default number of recent messages returned is 10. The value can be changed by passing the value as an argument to the method. Maximum limit for the value is 20.
Example:
my @messages = $laconica->fetch; # Fetches the top 10 messages
# (If there exists less than 10 messages,
# they are all returned)Or:
my @messages = $laconica->fetch(3); # Fetches the top 3 messages
sendSends a message.
Returns 0 if an error occurs.
Example:
if( $laconica->send('Hello world') ) {
print 'Message sent successfully.';
