In the previous article we started implementing the geo.getEvents Last.FM API call. In this article we will complete the implementation of the Event class and create a small application to display events for a specific location in a compact format. more »

In the previous article we finished implementing the geo.getMetros Last.FM API call with XML::Rabbit.

In the previous article we created a simple framework for making HTTP requests to the Last.FM API. In this article we'll go into detail on how XML::Rabbit can help us to extract the information we want from the XML output we saw in the previous article. I've added that XML output here, for your convenience. more »
