NAME

Net::Blogger::Engine::Base - base class for Blogger API engines

SYNOPSIS

package Net::Blogger::Engine::SuperFly;

use vars qw ( @ISA );
@ISA = qw ( Net::Blogger::Engine::Base );
use Net::Blogger::Engine::Base;

sub new {
   my $pkg = shift;

   my $self = {};
   bless $self,$pkg;
   
   $self->SUPER::init(@_);
   return $self;
}

DESCRIPTION

Base.pm is used a base class by implementation specific modules for the Blogger API.

If an implementation follows the Blogger API to the letter then, conceivably, all it's package would need to define is a constructor and Proxy method to define the URI of it's XML-RPC server.

Base.pm inherits the functionality of Net::Blogger::Base::API and Net::Blogger::Base::Ext and defines private methods used by each.

CONSTRUCTOR METHODS

  • appkey

  • username

  • password

    String. A valid password for the username/blogid pair.

CHANGES

0.3

  • Switched to SOAP::Lite rather than XMLRPC::Lite

  • Added Transport and Uri

0.2

  • Added hooks to set child API (metaWeblog,mt) login data when parent object changes.

  • Modified _Type to handle hash references.

  • Added quotes to $VERSION

0.1.3

  • Updated POD

0.1.2

  • Updated POD

0.1.1

  • The XML-RPC client is instantiated and set using a discreet object (rather than via a hash key for the Bloggger.pm object) because the XMLRPC::Lite::proxy method and the Net::Blogger::Engine::Base::Proxy method (which is AUTOLOAD-ed) are getting confused. (WTF?)

  • No need to pass $self to &_ClientFault.

0.1

  • Initial revision.
