NAME

  WWW::YQL - Simple interface for Yahoo Query Language

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::YQL;
  
  my $yql = WWW::YQL->new;

  my $data = $yql->query("select * from search.web where query = 'YQL'");
  for my $result ( @{ $data->{'query'}{'results'}{'result'} } ) {
      print $result->{'title'}, "\n";
      print $result->{'abstract'}, "\n";
      print '* ', $result->{'url'}, "\n\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

  This is a simple wrapper to the Yahoo Query Language service. Instead of manually sending a GET request to Yahoo and getting XML or JSON you can now use a simple function call and get a deep Perl data structure.

USAGE

  $yql->query("show tables");

FUNCTIONS

new

  New instance of WWW::YQL. Accepts one argument, 'env', to load more data tables,
  e.g. WWW::YQL->new(env => 'http://datatables.org/alltables.env');

query

  Run an YQL query. Accepts one argument, the query as a string.

useragent

  Returns the LWP::UserAgent object used to contact yahoo. You can tweak that object as required,
  e.g. $yql->useragent->env_proxy in order to use the proxy set in environment.

BUGS

  As any software, it has bugs, but I'm hunting them down.

SUPPORT

  Check the source code or contact author for support.
