NAME Mail::Karmasphere::Client - Client for Karmasphere Reputation Server SYNOPSIS use Mail::Karmasphere::Client qw(:all); my $client = new Mail::Karmasphere::Client( PeerAddr => '123.45.6.7', PeerPort => 8666, ); my $query = new Mail::Karmasphere::Query(); $query->identity('123.45.6.7', IDT_IP4_ADDRESS); $query->composite('karmasphere.emailchecker'); my $response = $client->ask($query, 60); print $response->as_string; my $id = $client->send($query); my $response = $client->recv($query, 60); my $response = $client->recv($id, 60); my $response = $client->query( Identities => [ ... ] Composite => 'karmasphere.emailchecker', ); DESCRIPTION The Perl Karma Client API consists of three objects: The Query, the Response and the Client. The user constructs a Query and passes it to a Client, which returns a Response. CONSTRUCTOR The class method new(...) constructs a new Client object. All arguments are optional. The following parameters are recognised as arguments to new(): PeerAddr The IP address or hostname to contact. See IO::Socket::INET. The default is 'slave.karmasphere.com'. PeerPort The TCP or UDP to contact. See IO::Socket::INET. The default is 8666. Proto Either 'udp' or 'tcp'. The default is 'udp' because it is faster. Debug Set to 1 to enable some wire-level debugging. METHODS $response = $client->ask($query, $timeout) Returns a Mail::Karmasphere::Response to a Mail::Karmasphere::Query. This is equivalent to $client->recv($client->send($query), $timeout) $id = $client->send($query) Sends a Mail::Karmasphere::Query to the server, and returns the id of the query, which may be passed to recv(). $response = $client->recv($id, $timeout) Returns a Mail::Karmasphere::Response to the query with id $id, assuming that the query has already been sent using send(). If no matching response is read before the timeout, undef is returned. $response = $client->query(...) A convenience method, equivalent to $client->ask(new Mail::Karmasphere::Query(...)); See Mail::Karmasphere::Query for more details. EXPORTS IDT_IP4_ADDRESS IDT_IP6_ADDRESS IDT_DOMAIN_NAME IDT_EMAIL_ADDRESS IDT_URL Identity type constants. BUGS This document is incomplete.
