NAME

       WWW::Wikipedia::Entry - A class for representing a Wikipedia Entry

SYNOPSIS

           my $wiki = WWW::Wikipedia->new();
           my $entry = $wiki->search( 'Perl' );
           print $entry->text();

           my $entry_es = $entry->language( 'es' );
           print $entry_es->text();

DESCRIPTION

       WWW::Wikipedia::Entry objects are usually created using the search() method on a
       WWW::Wikipedia object to search for a term. Once you've got an entry object you can then
       extract pieces of information from the entry using the following methods.

METHODS

   new()
       You probably won't use this one, it's the constructor that is called behind the scenes
       with the correct arguments by WWW::Wikipedia::search().

   text()
       The brief text for the entry. This will provide the first paragraph of text; basically
       everything up to the first heading. Ordinarily this will be what you want to use. When
       there doesn't appear to be summary text you will be returned the fulltext instead.

       If text() returns nothing then you probably are looking at a disambiguation entry, and
       should use related() to lookup more specific entries.

   text_basic()
       The same as "text()", but not run through Text::Autoformat.

   fulltext()
       Returns the full text for the entry, which can be extensive.

   fulltext_basic()
       The same as "fulltext()", but not run through Text::Autoformat.

   title()
       Returns a title of the entry.

   related()
       Returns a list of terms in the wikipedia that are mentioned in the entry text.

   categories()
       Returns a list of categories which the entry is part of. So Perl is part of the
       Programming languages category.

   headings()
       Returns a list of headings used in the entry.

   raw()
       Returns the raw wikitext for the entry.

   language()
       With no parameters, it will return the current language of the entry. By specifying a two-
       letter language code, it will return the same entry in that language, if available.

       NOTE: Generally, Wikipedia no longer uses language tags stored on a page.  Rather,
       languages are driven from wikidata, which this module does not query. You will find for
       most pages there are no other languages available, based on how this method currently
       works..

   languages()
       Returns an array of two letter language codes denoting the languages in which this entry
       is available.
