NAME

WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller - Fill Wikipedia templates with your eyes closed

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller;

  my $filler = new WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller();

  # Bit by bit
  my $source = $filler->get( pubmed_id => '2309482' )->fill;
  print $source->output;

  # Or all at once
  print $filler->get( pubmed_id => '2309482' )->fill->output;

  # With fill-time options
  $source = $filler->get( pubmed_id => '123456' )->fill( add_url => 1 );

METHODS

new

  my $filler = new WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller();

Creates a new template filler.

get

  my $source = $filler->get( $source_type => $id, %attrs );

Grabs the requested data from the net and returns it as a source object (actually a subclass of WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller::Source). $source_type is something like pubmed_id, drugbank_id, hgnc_id, isbn, etc. It corresponds to a class in the WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller::Source:: namespace.

$id is the corresponding ID, the format of which varies depending on the value of $source_type. For example, $id is numeric if $source_type is pubmed_id.

%attrs are additional attributes that are passed to the source class used to grab the requested data. Consult WWW::Wikipedia::TemplateFiller::Source for information.

cache

  my $cache = $filler->cache;

Returns the cache associated with this filler.
