Hi

Any examples of code out there using Perl as the language of execution for the new API ?

Thanks

PERL for API-NG

Example PERL code for using API-NG is something I would also be interested in.

Thanks

Anyone found anything more?

Would be great to hear from anyone whos found anything more than these code snippets. Im looking at switching off all my betfair stuff unless I can find an easy way to convert all my perl api's. Any more than a days coding and November is when i finally quit BF.

Perl API-NG Library

Praf,

have a look at my perl library on github. I can't promise it will only take a day to convert to the new API, it depends how fast you code

It's marked as 'beta' because I'm waiting for feedback from people using it on platforms other than linux. I'm using it myself on a couple of boxes (Slackware and CentOS) and everything is fine.

Hope you find it useful - check out the perldoc here before downloading to see if it's what you want.

re:Perl API-NG Library

Thanks Merlin thats exactly what i was looking for .. looks like an awesome bit of work, definately steers me towards converting rather than quitting BF altogether. Im on ubuntu, ill give give you some feedback once im done.

O you who turn the wheel and look to windward ..

Hi Praf

Rather than wait for some Perl examples I decided to crack on using Python. I may return to Perl because it is my language of choice and I still use it for most other tasks. I have blogged an introduction to getting started with API NG using Python at
