NAME
WWW::Yahoo::Groups - automated access to Yahoo! Groups.
SYNOPSIS
my $y = WWW::Yahoo::Groups->new();
$y->login( $user => $pass );
$y->list( 'Jade_Pagoda' );
my $email = $y->fetch_message( 2345 );DESCRIPTION
WWW::Yahoo::Groups is a subclass of WWW::Mechanize, overriding a few methods and supplying a few extra. As such, any method available in WWW::Mechanize is available to WWW::Yahoo::Groups, perhaps augmented with extra features.
Things it will do
Handle access restricted archives. It lets you login.
Handle the intermittent advertisements. It notes that it got one and progresses straight to the message.
Things it won't do (yet)
Handle attachments.
Handle errors.
As these are recognised flaws, they are on the "TODO" list.
METHODS
new()

my $y = WWW::Yahoo::Groups->new();debug()

$y->debug(0); # Disable

login()

$y->login( $user => $passwd );list()

Fetches a specified message from the list's archives. Returns it as a mail message (with headers) suitable for saving into a Maildir.
my $message = $y->fetch_message( 435 );You will probably experience problems if you retrieve messages with attachments.
TODO
Do some sanity checking on results from the fetches.
Handle attachments.
