=head2 Constructor and initialization

=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.

=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. Indicate use file cache to store content page or not
+:
my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, cache => 1);
=cut
sub _cache {
my CLASS_NAME $self = shift;
if(@_) { $self->{cache} = shift }
return $self->{cache}
}
=item _cacheObj()
In case of using cache, we create new Cache::File object and store it
+in object's
propery. For more details about Cache::File please see Cache::Cache do
+cumentation.
=cut
sub _cacheObj {
my CLASS_NAME $self = shift;
if(@_) { $self->{cacheObj} = shift }
return $self->{cacheObj}
}
=item _cache_exp()
In case of using cache, we can define value time of cache expire.
my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, cache_exp => '1 h');
For more details please see Cache::Cache documentation.
=cut
sub _cache_exp {
my CLASS_NAME $self = shift;
if(@_) { $self->{cache_exp} = shift }

}
=item _host()
Store IMDB host name. 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. You can define
different value for that:
my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, seach => 'some significa
+nt string');
Default value is 'Find?select=Titles&for='.
=cut
sub _search {
my CLASS_NAME $self = shift;
if(@_) { $self->{search} = shift }
return $self->{search}
}
=item _debug()
Indicate to use DEBUG mode to display some debug messages:
my $imdb = new IMDB::Film(code => 111111, debug => 1);
By default debug mode is switched off.
=cut
sub _debug {
my CLASS_NAME $self = shift;
if(@_) { $self->{debug} = shift }
return $self->{debug}
}
=item _content()
Connect to the IMDB, retrieve page according to crit: by film
IMDB ID or its title and store content of that page in the object
property.
In case using cache, first check if page was already stored in the
cache then retrieve page from the cache else store content of the
page in the cache.
=cut

}

}
return $self->{content};

=item _parser()
Setup HTML::TokeParser and store. To have possibility to inherite that
+ class
we should every time initialize parser using stored content of page.
For more information please see HTML::TokeParser documentation.
