NAME

Net::FileMaker - Interact with FileMaker Server

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

This package provides an interface to FileMaker Server's various APIs - Initially this is limited to the XML based API.

use Net::FileMaker;

my $fms = Net::FileMaker->new('http://fmserver', 'username', 'pass');

my $dbs = $fms->dbnames;
my $layouts = $fms->layoutnames('database');

METHODS

new($host,$user,$pass)

Creates a new object. Username and password are not mandatory if you're just planning on calling get_databases, else you'll be required to supply it pending the permissions of your setup.

NOTE: This will most likely change in future versions.

dbnames

Lists all XML enabled databases for a given host. This method is the only one that doesn't require authentication.

layoutnames($database)

Returns all layouts accessible for the respective database.

findall($database, $layout, %options)

Returns all rows on a specific database and layout.

total_rows($database, $layout)

Returns a scalar with the total rows for a given database and layout.

DEPRECATED METHODS

Method names introduced in the initial two releases were, in part inconsistent to the naming scheme used by the FileMaker API itself. Those methods that make direct calls to identical queries have been named identically to match, to make life easier for everyone. As they were introduced so early, the older methods will stay supported until the 0.10 release, by then they, along with this section, be removed.
