48 reCAPTCHA version 1 is a hybrid mechanical turk and captcha that allows
49 visitors who complete the captcha to assist in the digitization of
50 books.
51 From <http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html>:
53 reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that
55 cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for
56 humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read
57 correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is
58 possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read
59 correctly.
60 version 1 of Perl implementation is modelled on the PHP interface that
62 can be found here:
63 <http://recaptcha.net/plugins/php/>
65 To use reCAPTCHA you need to register your site here:
67 <https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create>
69 Version 2 is a new and eaasy to solve captcha that is "easy for humans
71 to solve, but hard for 'bots' and other malicious software"
72
74 "new"
75 Create a new "Captcha::reCAPTCHA".
76 "get_options_setter( $options )"
78 You can optionally customize the look of the reCAPTCHA widget with
79 some JavaScript settings. "get_options_setter" returns a block of
80 Javascript wrapped in <script> .. </script> tags that will set the
81 options to be used by the widget.
82 $options is a reference to a hash that may contain the following
84 keys:
85 "theme"
87 Defines which theme to use for reCAPTCHA. Possible values are
88 'red', 'white' or 'blackglass'. The default is 'red'.
89 "tabindex"
91 Sets a tabindex for the reCAPTCHA text box. If other elements
92 in the form use a tabindex, this should be set so that
93 navigation is easier for the user. Default: 0.
94 "get_options_setter_div( $pubkey, $options )"
96 You can optionally customize the look of the reCAPTCHA widget with
97 some settings. "get_options_setter_div" returns a div element
98 wrapped in <div> .. </div> tags that will set the options to be
99 used by the widget.
100 $options is a reference to a hash that may contain the following
102 keys:
103 "data-theme"
105 Defines which theme to use for reCAPTCHA. Possible values are
106 'dark', 'light'. The default is 'light'.
107 "data-type"
109 Defines the type of captcha to server. Possible values are
110 'audio' or 'image'. Default is 'image'
111 "data-size"
113 Defines the size of the widget. Possible values are 'compact'
114 or 'normal'. Default is 'normal'
115 "data-tabindex"
117 Defines the tabindex of the widget and challenge. If other
118 elements in your page use tabindex, it should be set to make
119 user navigation easier. Default is 0
120 "data-callback"
122 Defines the name of your callback function to be executed when
123 the user submits a successful CAPTCHA response. The user's
124 response, g-recaptcha-response, will be the input for your
125 callback function.
126 "data-expired-callback"
128 Defines the name of your callback function to be executed when
129 the recaptcha response expires and the user needs to solve a
130 new CAPTCHA
131 "get_html_v2( $pubkey, \%options )"
133 Generates HTML to display the captcha using the new api pubkey is
134 public key for \%options types the same as get_options_setter
135 print $captcha->get_html_v2($pubkey, $options);
137 This uses ssl by default and does not display custom error messages
139 "get_html( $pubkey, $error, $use_ssl, \%options )"
141 Generates HTML to display the captcha using api version 1.
142 print $captcha->get_html( $PUB, $err );
144 $pubkey
146 Your reCAPTCHA public key, from the API Signup Page
147 $error
149 Optional. If set this should be either a string containing a
150 reCAPTCHA status code or a result hash as returned by
151 "check_answer".
152 $use_ssl
154 Optional. Should the SSL-based API be used? If you are
155 displaying a page to the user over SSL, be sure to set this to
156 true so an error dialog doesn't come up in the user's browser.
157 $options

167 for the CAPTCHA, use "check_answer" to check their answer when they
168 submit the form. The user's answer will be in field, g-recaptcha-
169 response. The reCAPTCHA library will make an HTTP request to the
170 reCAPTCHA server and verify the user's answer.
171 $privkey
173 Your reCAPTCHA private key, from the API Signup Page.
174 $remoteip
176 The user's IP address, in the format 192.168.0.1 (optional)
177 $response
179 The value of the form field recaptcha_response_field.
180 Returns a reference to a hash containing two fields: "is_valid" and

183 # If your site does not use SSL then

186 my $result = $c->check_answer_v2(
188 'your private key here', $response,
189 $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}
190 );
191 my $result = $c->check_answer_v2(
193 'your private key here', $response,
194 $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}
195 );
196 if ( $result->{is_valid} ) {
198 print "Yes!";
199 }
200 else {
201 # Error
202 $error = $result->{error};
203 }
204 See the /examples subdirectory for examples of how to call
206 "check_answer_v2".
207 Note: this method will make an HTTP request to Google to verify the
209 user input. If this request must be routed via a proxy in your
210 environment, use the standard environment variable to specify the
211 proxy address, e.g.:
212 $ENV{http_proxy} = 'http://myproxy:3128';
214 "check_answer"
216 After the user has filled out the HTML form, including their answer
217 for the CAPTCHA, use "check_answer" to check their answer when they
218 submit the form. The user's answer will be in two form fields,

220 reCAPTCHA library will make an HTTP request to the reCAPTCHA server
221 and verify the user's answer.
222 $privkey
224 Your reCAPTCHA private key, from the API Signup Page.
225 $remoteip
227 The user's IP address, in the format 192.168.0.1.

237 my $result = $c->check_answer(
239 'your private key here', $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'},
240 $challenge, $response
241 );
242 if ( $result->{is_valid} ) {
244 print "Yes!";
245 }
246 else {
247 # Error
248 $error = $result->{error};
249 }
250 See the /examples subdirectory for examples of how to call
252 "check_answer_v1".
253 Note: this method will make an HTTP request to Google to verify the
255 user input. If this request must be routed via a proxy in your
256 environment, use the standard environment variable to specify the
257 proxy address, e.g.:
258 $ENV{http_proxy} = 'http://myproxy:3128';
