Perl Library for API-NG

[Merlin]

As there don't seem to be any 'proper' Perl libraries for the new API (as in "written by people who know what they're doing"), I thought I'd stick my own up at:
https://github.com/MyrddinWyllt/WWW-BetfairNG.
Tested and working on Slackware 14.1 (x86-64 and Raspberry Pi) and on Raspbian (Debian for the Pi), BUT couldn't get non-interactive login to work on a virtual server running CentOS 5 (SSLeay problem which I'll look into when I get a chance; everything else works with a valid session token).

Any comments, suggestions or feedback would be gratefully received, especially whether it runs on anything other than Linux, and what I need to change if it doesn't.

Cheers

Thank you for this ...

Now updated to include Betfair API release of 2014-09-29 here, and sample code / getting started guide here.

I am trying to get my existing PERL system updated to the new API and I am sure my developer will be immensely pleased with what you have provided here and will save him much time.

Certificate Login Not Working

As of this morning (2016-05-16) SSL certificate login using this module is NOT WORKING. I am looking into a full fix at the moment, but in the meantime please change your code to just use the interactive login (which is working fine). Sorry for any inconvenience, I will get back to you when I have identified the problem.

UPDATE
This is caused by the betfair login server cert being invalid - hopefully this will be fixed soon. I am loathe to change the module to work around this, as a proper TLS exchange should validate on both sides - perhaps I will introduce a switch to turn checking off for situations like this, with a suitable warning attached
