}DESCRIPTION
POE::Component::Client::Pastebot is a POE component that provides convenient mechanisms to paste and fetch pastes from Bot::Pastebot based web services.
It was inspired by http://sial.org/ pbotutil.
CONSTRUCTOR
spawn-
Starts a new POE::Component::Client::Pastebot session and returns an object. Takes a number of arguments all are optional.
'alias', specify a POE Kernel alias for the component; 'options', a hashref of POE Session options to pass to the component's session;
METHODS
session_id-
Takes no arguments. Returns the POE Session ID of the component.
shutdown-
Takes no arguments, terminates the component.
INPUT EVENTS
What POE events our component will accept.
paste-
Sends a paste request to a pastebot url. Accepts either a hashref of the following values or a list of the same:
'event', the name of the event to send the reply to. ( Mandatory ); 'url', the URL of the pastebot to paste to. ( Mandatory ); 'paste', either a scalar or arrayref of data to paste, ( Mandatory ); 'channel', the channel to annouce to; 'nick', the nickname to annouce from; 'summary', brief description of the paste;You may also pass arbitary key/values in the hashref ( as demonstrated in the SYNOPSIS ). Arbitary keys should have an underscore prefix '_'.

Both request types will have the following common keys:
'error', if something went wrong with the request, this key will be defined
with a brief description of the error encountered;
'response', a HTTP::Response object as returned by LWP::UserAgent;The following additional key/values will be present depending on the type of request made:
