NAME

Net::Blogger::Engine::Base - base class for Blogger API engines

SYNOPSIS

 package Net::Blogger::Engine::SuperFly;

 use vars qw ( @ISA );
 @ISA = qw ( Net::Blogger::Engine::Base );
 use Net::Blogger::Engine::Base;

 sub new {
    my $pkg = shift;

    my $self = {};
    bless $self,$pkg;

    $self->SUPER::init(@_);
    return $self;
 }

DESCRIPTION

Base.pm is used a base class by implementation specific modules for the Blogger API.

If an implementation follows the Blogger API to the letter then, conceivably, all it's package would need to define is a constructor and Proxy method to define the URI of it's XML-RPC server.

Base.pm inherits the functionality of Net::Blogger::Base::API and Net::Blogger::Base::Ext and defines private methods used by each.

PACKAGE METHODS

__PACKAGE->new(\%args)

Instantiate a new Blogger object.

Valid arguments are :

appkey
String. The magic appkey for connecting to the Blogger XMLRPC server.
blogid
String. The unique ID that Blogger uses for your weblog
username
String. A valid username for blogid
password
String. A valid password for the username/blogid pair.

Releases prior to Net::Blogger 0.85 accepted a list of arguments rather than a reference. Version 0.85+ are backwards compatible.

Returns an object. Woot!
