NAME

Net::Twitter::Role::Legacy - A Net::Twitter legacy compatibility layer as a Moose role

VERSION

version 4.00001

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Twitter;

my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
    username => $username,
    password => $password,
    traits   => [qw/Legacy/],
);

my $followers = $nt->followers;
if ( !followers ) {
    warn $nt->http_message;
}

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Net::Twitter compatibility layer for Net::Twitter. It pulls in the additional traits: API::REST, API::Search, API::Identica, and WrapError.

METHODS

new

This method takes the same parameters as "new" in Net::Twitter. In addition, it also support the options:

arrayref_on_error

When set to 1, on error, rather than returning undef, the API methods will return an empty ARRAY ref. Defaults to 0.

twittervision

When set to 1, enables the upade_twittervision call. Defaults to 0.

clone

Creates a shallow copy of the Net::Twitter object. This was useful, in legacy versions of Net::Twitter for handling concurrent requests (for instance with LWP::UserAgent::POE). Since errors are wrapped in the Net::Twitter concurrent requests each needed their own object. clone served that purpose.

The recommended approach for concurrent requests is to use Net::Twitter's ability throw exceptions, now.
