Example

The following example posts a simple message into the test LiveJournal using the LJ::Simple::QuickPost method.

use LJ::Simple;

LJ::Simple::QuickPost(
    user    =>  "test",
    pass    =>  "test",
    entry   =>  "Just a simple entry",
  ) || die "$0: Failed to post entry: $LJ::Simple::error\n";

The next example shows how to post an entry into the test LiveJournal using the complete, object-based, interface:

use LJ::Simple;

my $lj = new LJ::Simple ({
        user    =>      "test",
        pass    =>      "test",
      });
(defined $lj)
  || die "$0: Failed to log into LiveJournal: $LJ::Simple::error\n";

my %Event=();

$lj->NewEntry(\%Event) ||
  die "$0: Failed to create new entry: $LJ::Simple::error\n";

my $entry=<<EOF;
A simple entry made using <tt>LJ::Simple</tt> version $LJ::Simple::VERSION
EOF
$lj->SetEntry(\%Event,$entry)
  || die "$0: Failed to set entry: $LJ::Simple::error\n";

$lj->SetMood(\%Event,"happy")
  || die "$0: Failed to set mood: $LJ::Simple::error\n";

$lj->Setprop_nocomments(\%Event,1);

my ($item_id,$anum,$html_id)=$lj->PostEntry(\%Event);
(defined $item_id)
  || die "$0: Failed to post journal entry: $LJ::Simple::error\n";
