Perlanet - A program for creating programs that aggregate web feeds (both RSS and Atom). SYNOPSIS
my $perlanet = Perlanet->new; $perlanet->run; DESCRIPTION
Perlanet is a program for creating programs that aggregate web feeds (both RSS and Atom). Web pages like this are often called "Planets" after the Python software which originally popularised them. Perlanet is a planet builder written in Perl - hence "Perlanet". You are probably interested in Perlanet::Simple to get started straight out of the box, batteries included style. Perlanet itself is the driving force behind everything, however. Perlanet reads a series of web feeds (filtering only those that are valid), sorts and selects entries from these web feeds, and then creates a new aggregate feed and renders this aggregate feed. Perlanet allows the user to customize all of these steps through subclassing and roles. For most uses, you probably don't want to use the Perlanet module. The perlanet command line program is far more likely to be useful. CONSTRUCTOR
new my $perlanet = Perlanet->new The constructor method. Can be passed a hashref of initialisers. See "ATTRIBUTES" below for details of the key/value pairs to pass in. ATTRIBUTES
ua An instance of LWP::UserAgent. Defaults to a simple agent using "$cfg->{agent}" as the user agent name, or " Perlanet/$VERSION ". cutoff An instance of DateTime which represents the earliest date for which feed posts will be fetched/shown. feeds An arrayref of Perlanet::Feed objects representing the feeds to collect data from. METHODS
fetch_page Attempt to fetch a web page and a returns a URI::Fetch::Response object. fetch_feeds Called internally by "run" and passed the list of feeds in "feeds". Attempt to download all given feeds, as specified in the "feeds" attribute. Returns a list of Perlanet::Feed objects, with the actual feed data loaded. NB: This method also modifies the contents of "feeds". select_entries Called internally by "run" and passed the list of feeds from "fetch_feeds". Returns a combined list of Perlanet::Entry objects from all given feeds. sort_entries Called internally by "run" and passed the list of entries from "select_entries". Sort the given list of entries into created/modified order for aggregation, and filters them if necessary. Takes a list of Perlanet::Entrys, and returns an ordered list. build_feed Called internally by "run" and passed the list of entries from "sort_entries". Takes a list of Perlanet::Entrys, and returns a Perlanet::Feed that is the actual feed for the planet. clean_html Clean a HTML string so it is suitable for display. Takes a HTML string and returns a "cleaned" HTML string. clean_entries Clean all entries for the planet. Takes a list of entries, runs them through "clean" and returns a list of cleaned entries. render Called internally by "run" and passed the feed from "build_feed". This is the hook where you generate some type of page to display the result of aggregating feeds together (ie, inserting the posts into a database, running a HTML templating library, etc) Takes a Perlanet::Feed as input (as generated by build_feed. run The main method which runs the perlanet process.
