    use parent 'App::Nopaste::Service';

    sub uri { "http://paste.scsys.co.uk/" }

DESCRIPTION

"App::Nopaste::Service" defines a generic interface for uploading to nopaste sites. It provides a default interface to that of the POE Pastebot.

METHODS

nopaste

This is the outermost method called by App::Nopaste and other clients. You should not override this method, as it will (XXX: eventually) perform canonicalization of arguments (such as "lang") for you.

run args -> (OK, message)

This is the outermost method you should override. You'll be passed a hash of arguments. The only arguments you should pay attention to are:

text: The body of text to paste.
desc: A short (one-line) summary of the paste.
nick: The name of the person performing the paste.
chan: The IRC channel to which the paste belongs.
lang: The programming language of the body of text.
private: If false, the paste will be public (default).

get mech, args

This should "get" the form to paste using the provided WWW::Mechanize object. By default it does just that. See "uri" below.

uri

If you only need to call "mech->get(uri)" then you may define this method to provide the URI of the nopaste service.

fill_form mech, args

This should have the WWW::Mechanize fill in the form using the arguments, and submit it.

return mech, args

This should look at "WWW::Mechanize->content" to find the URI to the pasted text.
