Net::Jabber::Key(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Net::Jabber::Key(3)

NAME
Net::Jabber::Key - Jabber Key Library SYNOPSIS
Net::Jabber::Key is a module that provides a developer easy access to generating, caching, and comparing keys. DESCRIPTION
Key.pm is a helper module for the Net::Jabber::Transport. When the Transport talks to a Client it sends a key and expects to get that key back from the Client. This module provides an API to generate, cache, and then compare the key send from the Client. Basic Functions $Key = new Net::Jabber::Key(); $key = $Key->Generate(); $key = $Key->Create("bob@jabber.org"); $test = $Key->Compare("bob@jabber.org","some key"); METHODS
Basic Functions new(debug=>string, - creates the Key object. debug should debugfh=>FileHandle, be set to the path for the debug debuglevel=>integer) log to be written. If set to "stdout" then the debug will go there. Also, you can specify a filehandle that already exists and use that. debuglevel controls the amount of debug. 0 is none, 1 is normal, 2 is all. Generate() - returns a key in Digest SHA1 form based on the current time and the PID. Create(cacheString) - generates a key and caches it with the key of cacheString. Create returns the key. Compare(cacheString, - compares the key stored in the cache under keyString) cacheString with the keyString. Returns 1 if they match, and 0 otherwise. AUTHOR
