    );

    for ( @pastes ) {
        print "Processing paste $_\n";

        $paster->retrieve( $_ )

            and next;

        print "Content on $_ is:\n$paster\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION

The module provides interface to retrieve pastes from several pastebins (see "SUPPORTED PASTEBINS" section) using a single method by giving it URI to the paste.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

    my $paster = WWW::Pastebin::Many::Retrieve->new;

    my $paster = WWW::Pastebin::Many::Retrieve->new( timeout => 20 );

Constructs and returns a new WWW::Pastebin::Many::Retrieve object. Takes one argument which is optional:

timeout

    my $paster = WWW::Pastebin::Many::Retrieve->new( timeout => 20 );

Optional. Specifies the timeout in seconds this will be passed into constructors for all the pastebin retrieving modules used under the hood. See "SUPPORTED PASTEBINS" section below. Defaults to: whatever the default is for particular pastebin retrieving module; usually it is 30 seconds.

METHODS

retrieve

    my $response = $paster->retrieve('http://uri_to_some_paste/')
        or die $paster->error;

Instructs the object to retrieve certain paste. Takes one mandatory argument which must be the URI pointing to the paste on one of the supported pastebin sites (see "SUPPORTED PASTEBINS" section). The return value on success will be what the return from retrieve() method of a particular pastebin retrieving module would return; this is differs enough to be useless thus use the content() method (see below) to obtain the content of the paste. On failure returns either undef or an empty list and the reason for failure will be available via error() method.

error

    my $response = $paster->retrieve('http://uri_to_some_paste/')
        or die $paster->error;

Takes no arguments, returns a human parsable message explaining why the call to retrieve() method failed.

response

    my $last_response = $paster->response;

Must be called after a successful call to retrieve(). Takes no arguments, returns the exact same thing last call to retrieve() returned.

content

    my $paste_content = $paster->content;

    print "Paste content is: $paster\n";

Must be called after a successful call to retrieve(). Takes no arguments, returns the content of the paste you retrived. This method is also overloaded as q|""| thus you can simply interpolate your object in a string to obtain the content of the paste.

SUPPORTED PASTEBINS

Note: this module no longer supports http://paste.css-standards.org/ pastebin as the site no longer exists.

Currently the module is able to retrieve pastes from the following pastebins:
