NAME
Net::ModestMaps - Simple OOP wrapper for calling ModestMaps web services.
SYNOPSIS
my %args = (
'provider' => 'MICROSOFT_ROAD',
'method' => 'center',
'latitude' => '45.521375561025756',
'longitude' => '-73.57049345970154',
'zoom' => 15,
'height' => 500,
'width' => 500
);
my $mm = Net::ModestMaps->new();
my $data = $mm->draw(\%args);
if (my $err = $data->{'error'}){
die "$err->{'message'}";
}
my $img = $data->{'path'};DESCRIPTION
Simple OOP wrapper for calling the ws-compose and ws-pinwin ModestMaps web services.
PACKAGE METHODS
__PACKAGE__->new(%options)
Net::ModestMaps subclasses LWP::UserAgent so all its constructor arguments are valid. No other arguments are required.
Returns a Net::ModestMaps object!
OBJECT METHODS
$obj->draw(\%args, $img='')
Valid args are any query parameters that you would pass to a ModestMaps web service using the URI->query_form conventions (multiple parameters with same name passed as an array reference, etc.)
$img is the path where the map image returned by the ModestMaps web service should be written to disk. If no argument is passed the map image will be return to a file in your operating system's temporary directory.
The method always returns a hash reference, whether or not it succeeded.
If a failure condition was encountered the hash will contain a single key labeled "error" which is a pointer to another hash containing (error) "code" and "message" pairs.
On success, the hash will contain at least two keys : "path" indicating where the resultant map image was written and "url" indicating the actual URL used to retrieve map image.
Additionally, any "X-wscompose-*" headers returned by the ModestMaps server are also stored in the hash.
$obj->host($url='')
Get and set the host where ModestMaps web service requests should be sent.
The default values is http://127.0.0.1:9999
$obj->ensure_max_header_lines(\@items)
By default the Net::HTTP package sets the maximum number of headers that may be returned with a response to 128. If you are plotting lots of "markers" (pinwins, dots, etc.) this number may be too low.
This method will check to see how many items you are plotting and update the MaxHeaderLines config, if necessary.
