WebService::Bluga::Webthumb - fetch website thumbnails via
webthumb.bluga.net

SYNOPSIS
use WebService::Bluga::Webthumb;
my $wt = WebService::Bluga::Webthumb->new(
user => $user_id,
api_key => $api_key,
size => $size, # small, medium1, medium2, large (default: medium)
cache => $cache_days, # optional - default 14
);

# get a thumbnail URL using the default settings
my $thumb_url = wt->thumb_url($url);

# Get a thumbnail URL overriding some settings:
my $thumb_url = $wt->thumb_url($url, { size => 'large' });

Class methods
new Create a new WebService::Bluga::Webthumb object. Takes the following
params:

user
Your webthumb user ID, available from your
http://webthumb.bluga.net/user page.

api_key
Your webthumb API key. also available from your user page. (This
is used to construct the hash of the thumbnail URL, but not sent
directly.)

size
The size of the thumbnail to generate. Size can be:

* small - 80x60
* medium - 160x120
* medium2 - 320x240
* large - 640x480

cache
How many days a generated thumbnail can be cached on the
webthumb servers before a fresh one is generated. Generating a
thumbnail uses a credit whereas serving up a cached one uses a
fraction of a credit, so don't set this too low.

If not specified, defaults to 14 days.

Instance methods
easy_thumb
Given an URL, and optionally `size' / `cache' params to override
those from the object, returns an URL to the thumbnail, to use in an
IMG tag.
