DESCRIPTION

       A simple interface for using the Flickr API.

       "Flickr::API" is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, so all of the various proxy, request limits, caching, etc are available.

   METHODS
       "execute_method($method, $args)"
	   Constructs a "Flickr::API::Request" object and executes it, returning a "Flickr::API::Response" object.

       "execute_request($request)"
	   Executes a "Flickr::API::Request" object, returning a "Flickr::API::Response" object. Calls are signed if a secret was specified when
	   creating the "Flickr::API" object.

       "request_auth_url($perms,$frob)"
	   Returns a "URI" object representing the URL that an application must redirect a user to for approving an authentication token.

	   For web-based applications $frob is an optional parameter.

	   Returns undef if a secret was not specified when creating the "Flickr::API" object.
