Perl API Rewrite Complete -- WWW::TheMovieDB
posted by vbrtrmnSTAFFMOD on July 30, 2013 at 2:44 AM
Finished my rewrite for WWW::TheMovieDB::Search, this is WWW::TheMovieDB, it is a full feature module supporting all of the features offered by the 3.0 API.
http://search.cpan.org/~pjobson/WWW-TheMovieDB-0.04/
I've only tested on OSX (MacPorts) and Linux (Ubuntu), may or may not work on Windows versions of Perl though it doesn't use anything special to Linux/Unix.

Hey Paul,
Thanks for the contribution. I'll get it linked when I do the next push on the website.
Just for clarification sake (and it could just be old documentation) but I noticed that on this page here: https://metacpan.org/release/PJOBSON/WWW-TheMovieDB-Search-0.04 it still references the use of a 2.1 library. Is that actually the case or do the docs just need updating?

WWW::TheMovieDB::Search will be deprecated along with the TMDB API 2.1 on September 15, 2013. I pushed new docs last night in the 0.04 release which state that.
The new module is a complete rewrite from scratch. The 3.0 API offered so much more I couldn't easily modify the source of ::Search and because I decided to include all of your functionality, it was just easier to rewrite and use the parent namespace. I may wind up replacing the ::Search module with a trimmed down version, but I haven't really thought about it until literally just now.
The 3.0 API is fantastic by the way, thanks for your hard work!
