### Methods

- **retrieve\_project** *STRING*

  Query the freshmeat.net site for the project *STRING* (should be the Freshmeat ID of the requested project) and returns a `"WWW::Freshmeat::Project"` object or undef if the project entry cannot be found.

- **project\_from\_xml** *STRING*

  Receives Freshmeat project XML record and returns a `"WWW::Freshmeat::Project"` object or undef if the project entry cannot be found.

- **redir\_url** *STRING*

  Receives URL and returns URL which it redirects to.

## SEE ALSO

LWP::UserAgent.
