VERSION

0.01 - September 12

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use WWW::BugMeNot;
my $url = "http://www.nytimes.com";
my @username_and_password = password($url);
print "Username = $username_and_password[0]";
print "Password = $username_and_password[1]";
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Many websites require compulsory registration before they will allow readers to access their pages. This is bad for a variety of reasons, and so many people use BugMeNot.com to share common usernames and passwords. This module provides a programmatic interface to BugMeNot.

INTERFACE

WWW::BugMeNot presents one method to the outer world:

            

              
              
password("$url")
            
          

Which takes a URL, and returns an array containing a username and password. The username is in $array[0] and the password in $array[1]

That's it. There is currently no checking for sites that are not listed on BugMeNot, and the module will do horrid things upon finding such a beast.

PREREQUISITES

LWP::Simple, HTML::TokeParser

BUGS

Potentially many. This module uses screen-scraping to retrieve the passwords. If BugMeNot change their pages, the module will break.
