NAME WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create - create new pastes on sprunge.us VERSION version 0.010 SYNOPSIS use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create; my $sprunge = WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create->new; $sprunge->paste('large text to paste') or die $sprunge->error(); print "Your paste is located at $sprunge\n"; DESCRIPTION The module provides interface to paste large texts or files to METHODS new my $sprunge = WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create->new; my $sprunge = WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create->new( timeout => 10, ); my $sprunge = WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create->new( ua => LWP::UserAgent->new( timeout => 10, agent => 'PasterUA', ), ); Constructs and returns a new WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create object. Takes two arguments, both are *optional*. Possible arguments are as follows: timeout ->new( timeout => 10 ); Optional. Specifies the "timeout" argument of LWP::UserAgent's constructor, which is used for pasting. Defaults to: 30 seconds. ua ->new( ua => LWP::UserAgent->new( agent => 'Foos!' ) ); Optional. If the "timeout" argument is not enough for your needs of mutilating the LWP::UserAgent object used for pasting, feel free to specify the "ua" argument which takes an LWP::UserAgent object as a value. Note: the "timeout" argument to the constructor will not do anything if you specify the "ua" argument as well. Defaults to: plain boring default LWP::UserAgent object with "timeout" argument set to whatever "WWW::Pastebin::Sprunge::Create"'s "timeout" argument is set to as well as "agent" argument is set to mimic Firefox. paste my $paste_uri = $sprunge->paste('lots and lots of text') or die $sprunge->error; $sprunge->paste( 'paste.txt', file => 1, nick => 'Zoffix', desc => 'paste from file', lang => 'perl', ) or die $sprunge->error; Instructs the object to create a new paste. If an error occured during pasting will return either "undef" or an empty list depending on the context and the reason for the error will be available via "error()" method. On success returns a URI object pointing to a newly created paste. The first argument is mandatory and must be either a scalar containing the text to paste or a filename. The rest of the arguments are optional and are passed in a key/value fashion. Possible arguments are as follows: file $sprunge->paste( 'paste.txt', file => 1 ); Optional. When set to a true valu filename of the file containing the text to paste. When set to a false value the object will treat the first argument as a scalar containing the text to be pasted. Defaults to: 0 nick $sprunge->paste( 'some text', nick => 'Zoffix' ); Optional. Takes a scalar as a value which specifies the nick of the person creating the paste. Defaults to: empty string (no nick) desc $sprunge->paste( 'some text', desc => 'some l33t codez' ); Optional. Takes a scalar as a value which specifies the description of the paste. Defaults to: empty string (no description) lang $sprunge->paste( 'some text', lang => 'perl' ); Optional. Takes a scalar as a value which must be one of predefined language codes and specifies (computer) language of the paste, in other words which syntax highlighting to use. Since sprunge.us uses Pygments for syntax highlighting, available languages are . error my $paste_ or die $sprunge->error; If an error occured during the call to "paste()" it will return either "undef" or an empty list depending on the context and the reason for the error will be available via "error()" method. Takes no arguments, returns a human parsable error message explaining why we failed. paste_uri my $last_paste_uri = $sprunge->paste_uri; print "Paste can be found on $sprunge\n"; Must be called after a successfull call to "paste()". Takes no arguments, returns a URI object pointing to a paste created by the last call to "paste()", i.e. the return value of the last "paste()" call. This method is overloaded as "q|""" thus you can simply interpolate your object in a string to obtain the paste URI. ua my $old_LWP_UA_obj = $sprunge->ua; $sprunge->ua( LWP::UserAgent->new( timeout => 10, agent => 'foos' ); Returns a currently used LWP::UserAgent object. Takes one optional argument which must be an LWP::UserAgent object, and the object you specify will be used in any subsequent calls to "paste()". AVAILABILITY The project homepage is .
