Net::Identica(3pm)

🦋 Net::Identica 🦋

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for Net::Identica — straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, page 3pm. It's a Perl module, it talks to Identi.ca, and honestly? It's giving "vintage". Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::Identica — a perl interface to the Identi.ca Twitter Compatible API 🐦

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 4.01043

that's the number, no notes, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe in three lines, bestie:

use Net::Identica;

$nt = Net::Identica->new(username => $user, password => $passwd);

$nt->update('Hello, Identica friends!');

load it, make an object with your username and password, post a lil status. that's it, that's the module. ✨

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

okay so not to be dramatic but this one comes with a warning label, and you need to hear it. This module is a backwards compatibility wrapper for applications that used Net::Identica packaged with Net::Twitter versions 2.12 and earlier. Instead, use Net::Twitter with the identica option to gain all of the new features and functionality (OAuth, Search, exceptions on error, etc.).

like, it still works, it's still serving, but it's the older sibling that's been through some things. the glow-up option is right here 👇

use Net::Twitter;

# A simple, backwards compatible replacement for Net::Identica
my $identica = Net::Twitter->new(
    legacy   => 1,
    identica => 1,
    username => $username,
    password => $password,
);

# A more complex object with OAuth and some optional traits
my $identica = Net::Twitter->new(
    traits => [qw/API::REST API::Search InflateObjects/],
    identica            => 1,
    consumer_key        => $consumer_key,
    consumer_secret     => $consumer_secret,
    access_token        => $token,
    access_token_secret => $token_secret,
);

first one is the "I just want it to work like before" option. second one is the full main-character OAuth setup with traits and all the tokens. both slay, choose your fighter 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

The micro-blogging service <http://identi.ca> provides a Twitter compatible API. This module simply creates an instance of Net::Twitter with the identica option set.

that's literally the whole job. it's a little wrapper doing one (1) thing, and it does it. no cap.

See Net::Twitter for full documentation. 👑

💅 METHODS 💅

• new — Creates a Net::Twitter object by call new in Net::Twitter with the identica option preset.

that's the entire method list. one method. she's lowkey efficient, we love that for her. ⭐
