# Perlanet::Simple(3pm)

a DWIM Perlanet

## NAME

Perlanet::Simple - a DWIM Perlanet

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Perlanet::Simple;
  my $perlanet = Perlanet::Simple->new_with_config(
    configfile => 'perlanet.yaml'
  );
  $perlanet->run;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Perlanet provides the driving force behind all Perlanet applications, but it doesn't do a whole lot, which means you would normally have to write the functionality you require. However, in the motive of simplicity, Perlanet::Simple glues enough stuff together to allow you to get a very quick planet working out of the box.

Perlanet::Simple takes the standard Perlanet module, and adds support for caching, OPML feed generation, and Template rendering support. It will also attempt to clean each post using both HTML::Scrubber and HTML::Tidy.

### Configuration

Perlanet::Simple uses Perlanet::Trait::YAMLConfig to allow you to specify configuration through a file.

### clean\_html

Some custom cleaning code to remove a nasty piece of BlogSpot HTML (and still running all other cleaning traits)
