NAME WWW::ActiveState::PPM - Scrape build status from the ActiveState build farm 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.
