SUBROUTINES/METHODS

last()

Fetches the last quotes. Can accept a hashref that indicates the formatting:

$fml->last();

# or more explicitly
$fml->last( { as => 'object' } ); # same as above
$fml->last( { as => 'text'   } ); # returns an array of text anecdotes
$fml->last( { as => 'data'   } ); # returns an array of hashes of anecdotes

You can also specify which page you want:

# return 1st page
my @last = fml->last();

# return 5th page
my @last = $fml->last(5);
