NAME

WWW::Curl::Easy - Perl extension interface for libcurl

SYNOPSIS

    use WWW::Curl::Easy;
    my $curl = new WWW::Curl::Easy;
    $curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, 'http://oook.de');
    $curl->perform;
    my $err = $curl->errbuf;
    my $info = $curl->getinfo(CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

DESCRIPTION

WWW::Curl::Easy is a Perl extension interface for libcurl.

METHODS

    $curl = new WWW::Curl::Easy
        This method constructs a new WWW::Curl::Easy object.

    $curl->setopt( CURLOPT_OPTION, $option )
        This method sets a curl option in the object.

    $curl->perform
        This method performs the object.

    $curl->errbuf
        This method returns all errors from the buffer of the object.

    $curl->getinfo( CURLINFO_OPTION )
        This method returns the requested info from the object.

Aliases for these methods have also been created in the WWW::Curl::easy namespace, to provide some backwards compatability for existing scripts - you must still 'use WWW:Curl::Easy', but you can keep calling the functions by the lower case name for now. This will go away in a future release.

CONSTANTS

    These are some short descriptions of the most common constants.
    A full list with descriptions can be found in the libcurl
    manpages, curl_easy_setopt(3) and curl_easy_getinfo(3).
    This binding resembles the C one, so it should be OK to study the
    regular libcurl C/C++ API documentation.

    CURLOPT_URL
        The actual URL to deal with. The parameter should be a scalar.
        NOTE: this option is (the only one) required to be set before
        perform() is called.

    This is a list of all available constants.

AUTHOR

Don't use this module for new scripts - use 'WWW::Curl::Easy' instead.

Version 3.02 has some backwards compatibility to v2

Version 3.01 added some support for pre-multi versions of libcurl

Version 3.00 has many new features, new module names and a better documentation, by Sebastian Riedel.

Version 2.00 of WWW::Curl::easy is a renaming of the previous version (named Curl::easy), to follow CPAN naming guidelines, by Cris Bailiff.

Versions 1.30, a (hopefully) threadable, object-oriented, multiple-callback compatible version of Curl::easy was substantially reworked from the previous Curl::easy release (1.21) by Cris Bailiff.
