💖 WWW::F...rotocol(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is WWW::Finger::BitworkingFingerProtocol — it's the WWW::Finger module for Joe Gregorio's finger protocol, and yes, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use WWW::Finger;
my $finger = WWW::Finger->new("joe@example.com");
if (defined $finger)
{
  print $finger->openid . "\n";
}

like... that's it. that's the whole vibe. you make a $finger, you check it's actually defined (because sometimes it's not, and we respect that 🙈), and then you print the openid. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module implements an alternative finger proposal by Joe Gregorio. that's the whole plot. no cap.

on top of everything the standard WWW::Finger gives you, you also get these extra methods — consider them the bonus tracks on the album 👑

• openid — returns the person's OpenID. that's it, that's the method, it just hands you the OpenID. periodt.
• dictionary — returns a hashref of key-value pairs pulled from their profile. so like, all their lil profile facts, neatly hashed up for you. chef's kiss 💅
