DESCRIPTION
THIS MODULE IS CONSIDERED EXPERIMENTAL
API OR FUNCTIONALITY MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
This module is used to extract the build state of all the modules from
the ActiveState PPM website, located at <
http://ppm.activestate.com/>.
METHODS
new
my $scraper = WWW::ActiveState::PPM->new(
trace => 0,
version => '5.10',
);
The "new" constructor creates a new website scraping object.
The optional boolean "trace" param (off by default) is supplied to make
the scraping object print status to STDOUT as it runs.
The optional "version" param (5.10 by default) is used to set the
version of Perl that the scraper should target. Legal values are '5.6',
'5.8' and '5.10'.
Returns a new WWW::ActiveState::PPM object, or throws an exception on
error.
trace
The "trace" accessor is used to discover if tracing is enabled for the
object.
version
The "version" accessor returns the version of Perl that the scraper is
targetting.
run
The "run" method is used to kick off the parsing process.
Returns true when all packages have been checked, or throws an exception
if an error occurs.
