What’s up community? It’s been a busy year in the world of Linux administration. I’m officially on holiday break and finally have some time to knock the dust off of my little blog.
I’m now an offical CPAN developer and maintainer of the namspace Net::Hulu on CPAN. I just finished uploading my Perl module Net::Hulu to CPAN early this morning, and have successfully installed it using the following commands:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Net::Hulu
Net::Hulu provides methods to download all XML-formatted RSS feeds provided by hulu.com and return a data structure to the user containing the Data from the RSS feeds.
The following methods will download RSS feeds from hulu.com to directory where Hulu.pm is installed.
Method download_recent_videos_xml will download RSS feed for recent videos.

Method download_soon_to_expire_videos_xml will download RSS feed for soon to expire videos.

BLOG UPDATE!!! BLOG UPDATE!!! BLOG UPDATE!!!
I just looked at the cpantesters results for Net::Hulu version 0.01 and discovered it’s only compatible with Perl version 5.10.1! I have (hopefully) fixed this in version Net::Hulu-0.02.tar.gz. This is accomplished by executing the following command:
h2xs -b 5.6.0 -XA -n Net::Hulu
This will remove all autoload and XS portions of the module, adding backwards compatibility with Perl versions >= 5.6.0, and making it a ‘Pure Perl’ implementation.
ANOTHER BLOG UPDATE!!! ANOTHER BLOG UPDATE!!!
The latest version of my Perl module Net::Hulu, version 0.02, just passed all tests from cpantesters.org. You can view the results at http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/N/Net-Hulu.html#Net-Hulu-0.02. You can view the project’s homepage at http://search.cpan.org/~jlophty/Net-Hulu-0.02/lib/Net/Hulu.pm.
