Abstract

POE::Component::Client::UserAgent is an asynchronous, event driven LWP and LWP::Parallel based user agent POE component. It lets other tasks run while making a request to an Internet server and waiting for a response, and it lets several requests run in parallel.

Requirements

This module requires POE, LWP and LWP::Parallel. The component requires POE version 0.1402 and LWP::Parallel version 2.51, which in turn requires LWP version 2.52 or 2.53.

Availability

The most recent POE::Component::Client::UserAgent version is available on CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=POE-Component-Client-UserAgent

Installation

Create a makefile:

perl Makefile.PL

Install the module:

make install

Alternatively you can install the component using CPAN shell.

You can also extract the archive manually. The component is written entirely in Perl and requires no compilation.

Testing

Run all test scripts:

make test

If any of the test scripts fails, please run the script like so:

perl 00test.t 9

where 00test.t is the name of the script that fails and the number 9 is the debug level. This will create a file with the same name as the script and a .log extension. Then send the .log file to the component author.

Usage

An example of usage is found in the built in POD documentation.

Test scripts are also good examples of the component usage.
