Catmandu::FedoraCommons - Low level Catmandu interface to the Fedora Commons REST API
SYNOPSIS
# Use the command line tools
$ fedora_admin.pl
# Or the low-level API-s
use Catmandu::FedoraCommons;
my $fedora = Catmandu::FedoraCommons->new('http://localhost:8080/fedora','fedoraAdmin','fedoraAdmin');

# Add your own perl version of a descriptive metadata model by implementing your own
# model that can do a serialize and deserialize.DESCRIPTION
Catmandu::FedoraCommons is an Perl API to the Fedora Commons REST API (http://www.fedora.info/). Supported versions are Fedora Commons 3.6 or better.
ACCESS METHODS
new($base_url,$username,$password)
Create a new Catmandu::FedoraCommons connecting to the baseurl of the Fedora Commons installation.
findObjects(query => $query, maxResults => $maxResults)
findObjects(terms => $terms , maxResults => $maxResults)
Execute a search query on the Fedora Commons server. One of 'query' or 'terms' is required. Query contains a phrase optionally including '*' and '?' wildcards. Terms contain one or more conditions separated by space. A condition is a field followed by an operator, followed by a value. The = operator will match if the field's entire value matches the value given. The ~ operator will match on phrases within fields, and accepts the ? and * wildcards. The <, >, <=, and >= operators can be used with numeric values, such as dates.
Examples:
query => "*o*"
query => "?edora"
terms => "pid~demo:* description~fedora"
terms => "cDate>=1976-03-04 creator~*n*"
terms => "mDate>2002-10-2 mDate<2002-10-2T12:00:00"Optionally a maxResults parameter may be specified limiting the number of search results (default is 20). This method returns a Catmandu::FedoraCommons::Response object with a Catmandu::FedoraCommons::Model::findObjects model.
