XML::Atom::Entry (3pm)

    use XML::Atom::Entry;
    my $entry = XML::Atom::Entry->new;
    $entry->title('My Post');
    $entry->content('The content of my post.');
    my $xml = $entry->as_xml;
    my $dc = XML::Atom::Namespace->new(dc => 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/');
    $entry->set($dc, 'subject', 'Food & Drink');

Creates a new entry object, and if $stream is supplied, fills it with the data specified by $stream.

Automatically handles autodiscovery if $stream is a \s-1URI\s0 (see below).

Returns the new XML::Atom::Entry object. On failure, returns \*(C`undef\*(C'.

$stream can be any one of the following:

• Reference to a scalar This is treated as the \s-1XML\s0 body of the entry.

• Scalar This is treated as the name of a file containing the entry \s-1XML\s0.

• Filehandle This is treated as an open filehandle from which the entry \s-1XML\s0 can be read. Returns the content of the entry. If $content is given, sets the content of the entry. Automatically handles all necessary escaping. Returns an XML::Atom::Person object representing the author of the entry, or \*(C`undef\*(C' if there is no author information present.

If $author is supplied, it should be an XML::Atom::Person object representing the author. For example:

my $author = XML::Atom::Person->new; $author->name('Foo Bar'); $author->email('[email protected]'); $entry->author($author); If called in scalar context, returns an XML::Atom::Link object corresponding to the first <link> tag found in the entry.

If called in list context, returns a list of XML::Atom::Link objects corresponding to all of the <link> tags found in the entry. Adds the link $link, which must be an XML::Atom::Link object, to the entry as a new <link> tag. For example:

my $link = XML::Atom::Link->new; $link->type('text/html'); $link->rel('alternate'); $link->href('http://www.example.com/2003/12/post.html'); $entry->add_link($link); Given an XML::Atom::Namespace element $ns and an element name $element, retrieves the value for the element in that namespace.

This is useful for retrieving the value of elements not in the main Atom namespace, like categories. For example:

my $dc = XML::Atom::Namespace->new(dc => 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'); my $subj = $entry->get($dc, 'subject'); Just like $entry->get, but if there are multiple instances of the element $element in the namespace $ns, returns all of them. get will return only the first.
