26 XML::Atom::Client implements a client for the Atom API described at
27 http://bitworking.org/projects/atom/draft-gregorio-09.html, with the
28 authentication scheme described at
29 http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/DifferentlyAbledClients.
30
31 NOTE: the API, and particularly the authentication scheme, are still in
32 flux.

36 $api->use_soap([ 0 | 1 ])
37 XML::Atom::Client supports both the REST and SOAP-wrapper versions of
38 the Atom API. By default, the REST version of the API will be used, but
39 you can turn on the SOAP wrapper--for example, if you need to connect
40 to a server that supports only the SOAP wrapper--by calling use_soap
41 with a value of 1:
42
43 $api->use_soap(1);
44
45 If called without arguments, returns the current value of the flag.
46
47 $api->username([ $username ])
48 If called with an argument, sets the username for login to $username.
49
50 Returns the current username that will be used when logging in to the
51 Atom server.
52
53 $api->password([ $password ])
54 If called with an argument, sets the password for login to $password.
55
56 Returns the current password that will be used when logging in to the
57 Atom server.
58
59 $api->createEntry($PostURI, $entry)
60 Creates a new entry.
61
62 $entry must be an XML::Atom::Entry object.
63
64 $api->getEntry($EditURI)
65 Retrieves the entry with the given URL $EditURI.
66
67 Returns an XML::Atom::Entry object.
68
69 $api->updateEntry($EditURI, $entry)
70 Updates the entry at URL $EditURI with the entry $entry, which must be
71 an XML::Atom::Entry object.
72
73 Returns true on success, false otherwise.
74
75 $api->deleteEntry($EditURI)
76 Deletes the entry at URL $EditURI.
77
78 $api->getFeed($FeedURI)
79 Retrieves the feed at $FeedURI.
80
81 Returns an XML::Atom::Feed object representing the feed returned from
82 the server.
