posted.

get the reddit ID of the current submission.

set_id

$r->set_id( '63iup' );

pass in the ID of the reddit submission.

details

fetch the details for a reddit submission

takes an optional reddit ID for a submisstion. Otherwise, uses the
ID already in the object.

returns a hashref that looks like:

   {
     'submitted' => '29 Nov 2007',
     'points'    => '2',
     'upvotes'   => '17',
     'downvotes' => '15'
   };

get_ids_from_feed

my @listlist = $r->get_ids_from_feed();

fetches the RSS feed from reddit and returns the list of reddit IDS
in it. You can pass those IDs into the C<details> method to learn
more about them.

get_id_from_url

pass in a reddit url, and this method attempts to return the reddit
ID in it. This works on both URLs from the website and those from
the RSS feed.

USAGE NOTE

reddit currently requires you to fill out a CAPTCHA to post a submission when using a relatively new account, or maybe one with low karma. This module does not circumvent that check. You therefore need to have a more established reddit account to use this module to submit to reddit. I do not have any intentions of changing this.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-www-reddit at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=WWW-Reddit. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
