Hi
I need some newbee advise on how to extract the elements from movie->info using the perl moduel {WWW-TMDB-API }{https://www.themoviedb.org/talk#precode}
I'm not so hot on my Object Orientated perl!
for instance this fails with an error
my $img = $movie->poster_path;
but
my $movie_title = $movie->title; works?
this produces a hash when printed
my @movie_images= $movie->images;
this gives a list of actors but no person id
my @movie_actors = $movie->actors;
Has any one got a good example of how to do this other then the CPAN page?
here is my script so far
#!C:/Perl64/bin/perl.exe
use TMDB;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);
use CGI;
use JSON;
my $cgi = CGI->new();
my $tmd= $cgi->param('tmd');
# Initialize
$tmd = "60304";
my $tmdb = TMDB->new( apikey => 'xxxxxxxxxx' );
# HTTP HEADER
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
# Movie Data
# ===========
#
# Movie Object
# $result = $tmdb->movie->info( ID => $tmd );
# print Dumper $result;
my $movie = $tmdb->movie( id => $tmd );
# # # Movie Data (as returned by the API)
# #
print Dumper $movie->info;
# # # Movie details
my $movie_title = $movie->title;
my $MIDB = $movie->imdb_id;
my $movie_year = $movie->year;
my $movie_tagline = $movie->tagline;
my $movie_overview = $movie->overview;
my @movie_directors = $movie->director;
my @movie_actors = $movie->actors;
my @movie_images= $movie->images;
print Dumper $movie->images;
these fail
# my $img = $movie->poster_path;
# $img = "http://d3gtl9l2a4fn1j.cloudfront.net/t/p/w185" . $img;
# my $poster_path = qq(<img src='$img'>);
# my $img = "http://d3gtl9l2a4fn1j.cloudfront.net/t/p/w300" . $movie->backdrop_path;
# my $backdrop_path = qq(<img src='$img'>);

Vil du vurdere eller legge til dette elementet i en liste?

I'm currently rewriting my API version 2 module, only have about 5 functions to go: http://search.cpan.org/~pjobson/WWW-TheMovieDB-Search/lib/WWW/TheMovieDB/Search.pm
I plan on being finished next week and publishing to CPAN shortly there after.
The last update on the other module was December of 2008, it is definitely using version 2 of the API. http://search.cpan.org/~behanw/TVDB-API-0.33/
For http requests you might want to try LWP::Simple, much less annoying than doing CGI requests.
Feel free to contact me directly, my email is in that perl module.

What about the TMDB module? Or is that the one that is Ning23 is using? It was updated recently.
I'm not familiar with Perl at all, just know some libs exist for it :D
