DESCRIPTION

Skype::Any is Skype API wrapper. It was inspired by Skype4Py.

Note that Skype::Any is using Skype Desktop API. However, Skype Desktop API will stop working in December 2013. You can not use lastest version of Skype.

name => 'Skype::Any' : Str

Name of your application. This name will be shown to the user, when your application uses Skype.

protocol => 8 : Num

Skype protocol number.

$skype->attach()

Attach to Skype. However, you need not call this method. When you call $skype->run(), it will be attach to Skype automatically.

If you want to manage event loop, you have to call this method. e.g. running with Twiggy:

$skype->attach;

my $twiggy = Twiggy::Server->new(
    host => $http_host,
    port => $http_port,
);
$twiggy->register_service($app);

$skype->run;

$skype->run()

Running an event loop. You have to call this method at the end.

$skype->message_received(sub { ... })

$skype->message_received(sub {
  my ($chatmessage) = @_;

  ...
});

Register 'chatmessage' handler for when a chat message is coming.

$skype->create_chat_with($username, $message)

Alias for:

$skype->user($username)->chat->send_message($message);

OBJECTS

$skype->user(sub { ... })

Register _ (default) handler.

$skype->user($name => sub { ... }, ...)

$skype->user($id);
$skype->user(sub {

});
$skype->object(user => $name => sub {
});
