DESCRIPTION

Travel::Status::DE::DeutscheBahn is an interface to the DeutscheBahn arrival/departure monitor available at http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/bhftafel.exe/dn.

It takes a station name and (optional) date and time and reports all arrivals or departures at that station starting at the specified point in time (now if unspecified).

METHODS

my $status = Travel::Status::DE::DeutscheBahn->new(%opts)

Returns a new Travel::Status::DE::DeutscheBahn element. Supported opts are:

station => station

The train station to report for, e.g. "Essen HBf". Mandatory.

date => dd.mm.yyyy

Date to report for. Defaults to the current day.

time => hh:mm

Time to report for. Defaults to now.

mode => arr|dep

By default, Travel::Status::DE::DeutscheBahn reports train departures (dep). Set this to arr to get arrivals instead.

mot => \%hashref

Modes of transport to show. Accepted keys are: ice (ICE trains), ic_ec (IC and EC trains), d (InterRegio and similarly fast trains), nv ("Nahverkehr", mostly RegionalExpress trains), s ("S-Bahn"), bus, ferry, u ("U-Bahn") and tram.

Setting a mode (as hash key) to 1 includes it, 0 excludes it. undef leaves it at the default.

By default, the following are shown: ice, ic_ec, d, nv, s.

$status->results()

Returns a list of arrivals/departures. Each list element is a Travel::Status::DE::DeutscheBahn::Result(3pm) object.

DIAGNOSTICS

None.
