MediaWiki-API
This module provides an interface between perl and the MediaWiki API
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API) allowing creation of scripts to automate
editing and extraction of data from MediaWiki driven sites like Wikipedia.
STANDARD INSTALLATION
This module requires the following perl modules
LWP::UserAgent
URI::Escape
JSON
Encode
Carp
and optionally JSON::XS for faster JSON decoding.
To install this module, run the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
CREATING DEBIAN PACKAGE / INSTALLING ON DEBIAN
Please note that Debian squeeze and Ubuntu Karmic already have a package
with this module.
Note that this module requires the packages libwww-perl, libjson-perl, and
optionally libjson-xs-perl for faster JSON decoding.
On a debian system, you can easily generate a debian package to install. To
do this make sure you have the package "dh-make-perl" installed. Unpack the
MediaWiki-API-x.xx.tar.gz and run
dh-make-perl
dpkg-buildpackage
If everything works successfully you should have a deb file created in the
parent folder.
