DESCRIPTION

Mobile::Ads::Decktrade provides an object oriented interface to serve advertisements from Decktrade.com in mobile sites.

new Mobile::Ads::Decktrade

[$parent]

To reuse Mobile::Ads in multiple (subsequent) ad requests, you can pass a Mobile::Ads reference here. Instead of creating a new Mobile::Ads object, we will use the one you pass instead. This might save a little LWP::UserAgent creation/destruction time.

Parameters/Properties

site

=> Decktrade site code, delivered by them. Something in the form off ``1234'' (they call it ``dt_siteid'')

remote

=> Remote User Agent ($ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'}). In fact $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} will be used if not supplied.

address

=> $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}. All things about HTTP_USER_AGENT also apply here.

text

=> Should we fail to retrieve a real ad, this is the text of the ad displayed instead

link

=> Same with text, but for the ad's link.

Methods

get_Decktrade_ad

=> Does the actual fetching of the ad for the site given. Refer to new for details Returns a list ($text_for_ad,$link_for_ad,$ad_image) value.
