=head1 NAME IMDB::Film - OO Perl interface to the movies database IMDB. =head1 VERSION IMDB::Film 0.01 =head1 SYNOPSIS use IMDB; my $imdbObj = new IMDB::Film(crit => 227445); or my $imdbObj = new IMDB::Film(crit => 'Troy'); print "Title: ".$imdbObj->title()."\n"; print "Year: ".$imdbObj->year()."\n"; print "Plot Symmary: ".$imdbObj->plot()."\n"; =head1 DESCRIPTION =head2 Overview IMDB::Film is an object-oriented interface to the IMDB. You can use that module to retrieve information about film: title, year, plot etc. =cut package IMDB::Film; use strict; use warnings; use HTML::TokeParser; use LWP::UserAgent; use Cache::FileCache; use Carp; use fields qw( _title _year _summary _casts _directors _writers _cover _code _language _country _rating _genres _tagline _plot _certifications _duration content parser matched proxy error cache host query search cacheObj cache_exp debug ); use vars qw( $VERSION %FIELDS %FILM_CERT ); use constant CLASS_NAME => 'IMDB::Film'; use constant FORCED => 1; use constant USE_CACHE => 1; use constant DEBUG_MOD => 1; BEGIN { $VERSION = '0.03'; # Convert age gradation to the digits %FILM_CERT = ( G => 'All', R => 16, 'NC-17' => 16, PG => 13, ' +PG-13' => 13 ); } { my $_objcount = 0; sub get_objcount { $_objcount } sub _incr_objcount { ++$_objcount } sub _decr_objcount { --$_objcount } my %_defaults = ( proxy => $ENV{http_proxy}, cache => 0, debug => 1, error => [], cache_exp => '1 h', host => 'www.imdb.com', query => 'title/tt', search => 'Find?select=All&for=', ); sub _get_default_attrs { keys %_defaults } sub _get_default_value { my($self, $attr) = @_; $_defaults{$attr}; } } =head2 Constructor and initialization =over 4 =item new() Object's constructor. You should pass as parameter movie title or IMDB + code. my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(crit => <some code>); or my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(crit => <some title>); Also, you can specify following optional parameters: - proxy - define proxy server name and port; - debug - switch on debug mode (on by default); - cache - cache or not of content retrieved pages. =cut sub new { my $caller = shift; my $class = ref($caller) || $caller; $class->_incr_objcount(); no strict "refs"; my $self = bless [\%{"${caller}::FIELDS"}], $class; $self->_init(@_); return $self; } =item _init() Initialize object. =cut sub _init { my CLASS_NAME $self = shift; my %args = @_; for my $prop ( $self->_get_default_attrs ) { $self->{$prop} = defined $args{$prop} ? $args{$prop} : $self->_get_default_va +lue($prop); } $self->_cacheObj( new Cache::FileCache( { default_expires_in => $s +elf->_cache_exp() } ) ); croak "Film IMDB ID or Title should be defined!" if !defined $args{crit} && + $args{crit} eq ''; $self->_content( $args{crit} ); $self->_parser(FORCED); $self->title(FORCED); for my $prop (grep { /^_/ && !/^_title$/ } sort keys %FIELDS) { ($prop) = $prop =~ /^_(.*)/; $self->$prop(FORCED); } } =back =head2 Object Private Methods =over 4 =item _proxy() Store address of proxy server. You can pass a proxy name as parameter +into object constructor: my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, proxy => 'my.proxy.host: +8080'); or you can define environment variable 'http_host'. For exanple, for L +inux you shoud do a following: export http_proxy=my.proxy.host:8080 =cut sub _proxy { my CLASS_NAME $self = shift; if(@_) { $self->{proxy} = shift } return $self->{proxy}; } =item _cache() Store cache flag.

You can pass this value in object constructor: my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, host => 'us.imdb.com'); By default, it uses 'www.imdb.com'. =cut sub _host { my CLASS_NAME $self = shift; if(@_) { $self->{host} = shift } return $self->{host} } =item _query() Store query string to retrieve film by its ID. You can define different value for that: my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, query => 'some significa +nt string'); Default value is 'title/tt'. =cut sub _query { my CLASS_NAME $self = shift; if(@_) { $self->{query} = shift } return $self->{query} } =item _search() Store search string to find film by its title.
