💖 Net::GP...rt::http 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about Net::GPSD::Report::http. That name is long but don't panic — it's giving "little Perl module that ships your position data off somewhere." 🛰️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::GPSD::Report::http — it hands you a perl interface to report position data. that's it, that's the whole job. 📍

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe in three lines:

use Net::GPSD::Report::http;
my $obj=Net::GPSD::Report::http->new();
my $return=$obj->send(\%data);

like. that's it. make the object, send the data. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lowkey there is nothing in here?? the description section is empty, no cap. the actual tea lives in the constructor and the methods below, so keep scrolling bestie. 🫶

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR 🎀

new

my $obj=Net::GPSD::Report::http->new({url=>$url});

you call new with a hashref holding a url, and boom — you got yourself an object. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🌈 METHODS 🌈

initialize

it's a method, it's called initialize, and the page is not gonna elaborate further. that's the whole entry, bestie. 🧚

url

$obj->url("http://localhost/path/script.cgi");
my $url=$obj->url;

getter AND setter, iconic behaviour honestly. pass it a string and you're setting the url; call it with nothing and it hands the url right back to you. 💖

send

my $httpreturn=$obj->send({device=>$int,
                           lat=>$lat,
                           lon=>$lon,
                           dtg=>"yyyy-mm-dd 24:mm:ss.sss",
                           speed=>$meterspersecond,
                           heading=>$degrees});

this is the one that actually goes out there and does the thing. you feed it a hashref with your device, lat, lon, dtg (that's date-time-group, formatted like yyyy-mm-dd 24:mm:ss.sss), speed in meters per second, and heading in degrees — and it comes back with $httpreturn. obsessed. 🔥

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

...nothing listed here. zero limitations apparently. we love a confident queen. 👑 (ngl though, that section is just empty.)
