NAME

HTTP::OAI::UserAgent - Extension of the LWP::UserAgent for OAI HTTP requests

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simplified mechanism for making requests to an OAI repository, using the existing LWP::UserAgent module.

SYNOPSIS

         require HTTP::OAI::UserAgent;
 
         my $ua = new HTTP::OAI::UserAgent;
 
         my $response = $ua->request(
                 baseURL=>'http://arXiv.org/oai1',
                 verb=>'ListRecords',
                 from=>'2001-08-01',
                 until=>'2001-08-31'
         );
 
         print $response->content;
