Net::Parliament - Scrape data from parl.gc.ca

This module will fetch HTML and XML from parl.gc.ca, and then parse it into hashrefs.

    use Net::Parliament;

    my $parl = Net::Parliament->new(
        parliament => 40,
        session    => 2,
    );
    my $members = $parl->members();

This method returns an arrayref containing a hashref for each member of parliament. Fetching the data is cached via Net::Parliament::UserAgent.

Options:

extended

If set to true, extra data from the member's home page will be fetched. This takes much longer.

limit

Only return this number of results. Useful for testing.
