DESCRIPTION

WebService::VaultPress::Partner is a set of Perl modules that provide a simple and consistent Client API to the VaultPress Partner API. The main focus of the library is to provide classes and functions that allow you to quickly access VaultPress from Perl applications.

The modules consist of the WebService::VaultPress::Partner module itself as well as a handful of WebService::VaultPress::Partner::Request modules as well as a response object, WebService::VaultPress::Partner::Response, that provides consistent error and success methods.

Error handling is done by die'ing when we run into problems. Use your favorite exception handling style to grab errors.
