SYNOPSIS

Many websites these days have links and buttons into social media sites. This module eases links into Twitter and Facebook.

The language of the text displayed will depend on the client's choice, making HTML::SocialMedia ideal for running on multilingual sites.

Takes optional parameter logger, an object which is used for warnings and traces. This logger object is an object that understands warn() and trace() messages, such as a Log::Log4perl object.

Takes optional parameter cache, an object which is used to cache country lookups. This cache object is an object that understands get() and set() messages, such as an CHI object.

Takes optional parameter lingua, which is a CGI::Lingua object.

BUGS

When adding a FaceBook like button, you may find performance improves a lot if you use HTTP::Cache::Transparent.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-html-socialmedia at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=HTML-SocialMedia. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

Would be good to have my ($head, $body) = $sm->onload_render();
