SYNOPSIS

use Net::Google::Cache;
my $cache = Net::Google::Cache(\%args);

print $cache->get();

DESCRIPTION

Provides a simple OOP-ish interface to the Google SOAP API for cached documents.

This package is used by Net::Google.

PACKAGE METHODS

__PACKAGE__->new(\%args)

Valid arguments are :

  • key

    string. A Google API key.

    If none is provided then the key passed to the parent Net::Google object will be used.

  • url

  • http_proxy

    url.

    Get/set the URL for proxy-ing HTTP request.

    Returns a string.

    Valid options are:

    • coderef.

      Your own subroutine for munging the debugging information returned by SOAP::Lite.

The object constructor in Net::Google 0.53, and earlier, expected a GoogleSearchService object as its first argument followed by a hash reference of argument. Versions 0.6 and higher are backwards compatible.

Returns an object. Woot!
