METHODS

These functions may be imported by name or with the :all tag.

advice( [...] )

my $widsom = advice( ); # Random advice
my $advice = advice( 20 ); # Advice by ID

Seek advice.

You may request specific advice by ID.

Advice is provided as a hash reference containing the following keys:

• advice

  The sage advice you were looking for.

• id

  The advice's ID in case you'd like to request it again in the future.

search( ... )

my @slips = search( 'time' );

Seek topical advice.

Advice is provided as a list of hash references containing the following keys:

• advice

  The sage advice you were looking for.

• date

  The date the wisdom was added to the database. It's in YYYY-MM-DD.

  I'm not sure why this isn't also returned when requesting advice by ID but that's how the backend works.

• id

  The advice's ID in case you'd like to request it again in the future.

...but why?

I'm inflicting this upon the world because oodler577 invited me to help expand Perl's coverage of smaller open APIs. Blame them or join us in the effort.
