DESCRIPTION
This module fetches advertiser information for a given Text Link Ads
publisher account.
See .
METHODS
->new( \%options )
Instantiate a new TextLinkAds object.
%options
cache
Optional. By default this module will try to use Cache::FileCache to
store data retrieved from the text-link-ads.com site for one hour.
You may use the "cache" parameter to provide an alternative object
that implements the Cache::Cache interface. To disable caching set
"cache" to a scalar value that resolves to "false".
tmpdir
Optional. A temporary directory to use when caching data. The
default behaviour is to use the directory determined by
File::Spec->tmpdir.
->fetch( $inventory_key, \%options )
Fetch advertiser information for the given key. It will first attempt to
get the data from the cache where available, and failing that will send
a request to text-link-ads.com, using the *_proxy environment variables
and the If-Modified_Since request header.
$inventory_key
Required. The XML Key for the desired site as provided by Text Link Ads.
%options
user_agent
Optional. In the vanilla code examples provided by Text Link Ads,
both the user agent and referer CGI environment variables are
included in the URI used to retrieve the XML data. While the link
appears to function without them, it would probably be polite to
include them where possible.
referer
See above.
