DESCRIPTION

       Travel::Routing::DE::VRR is a client for the efa.vrr.de web interface.  You pass it the
       start/stop of your journey, maybe a time and a date and more details, and it returns the
       up-to-date scheduled connections between those two stops.

       It uses LWP::UserAgent and XML::LibXML for this.

METHODS

       $efa = Travel::Routing::DE::VRR->new(%opts)
           Returns a new Travel::Routing::DE::VRR object and sets up its POST data via %opts.

           Valid hash keys and their values are:

           origin => [ city, stop [ , type ] ]
               Mandatory.  Sets the start of the journey.  type is optional and may be one of
               stop (default), address (street and house number) or poi ("point of interest").

           destination => [ city, stop [ , type ] ]
               Mandatory.  Sets the end of the journey, see origin.

           via => [ city, stop [ , type ] ]
               Optional.  Specifies an intermediate stop which the resulting itinerary must
               contain.  See origin for arguments.

           arrival_time => HH:MM
               Journey end time

           departure_time => HH:MM
               Journey start time.  Default: now

           date => DD.MM.[YYYY]
               Journey date.  Default: tdoay

           exclude => \@exclude
               Do not use certain transport types for itinerary.  Accepted arguments: zug,
               s-bahn, u-bahn, stadtbahn, tram, stadtbus, regionalbus, schnellbus, seilbahn,
               schiff, ast, sonstige

           max_interchanges => num
               Set maximum number of interchanges

           select_interchange_by => speed|waittime|distance
               Prefer either fast connections (default), connections with low wait time or
               connections with little distance to walk

           use_near_stops => 0|1
               If true: Try using near stops instead of the specified origin/destination ones

           train_type => local|ic|ice
               Include only local trains into itinarery (default), all but ICEs, or all.

               The latter two are usually way more expensive for short routes.

           walk_speed => slow|fast|normal
               Set walk speed.  Default: normal

           with_bike => 0|1
               If true: Prefer connections allowing passengers with bikes

           lwp_options => \%hashref
               Options to pass to "LWP::UserAgent->new".

           submit => 0|1
               By default, new will create a POST request and submit it to <http://efa.vrr.de>.
               If you do not want it to be submitted yet, set this to 0.

       $efa->submit(%opts)
           Submit the query to <http://efa.vrr.de>.  %opts is passed on to "LWP::UserAgent->new".

       $efa->routes()
           Returns a list of Travel::Routing::DE::VRR::Route(3pm) elements. Each one contains one
           method of getting from start to stop.

   ACCESSORS
       The following methods act like the arguments to new. See there.

       $efa->departure_time($time)
       $efa->arrival_time($time)
       $efa->date($date)
       $efa->exclude(@exclude)
       $efa->max_interchanges($num)
       $efa->select_interchange_by($selection)
       $efa->train_type($type)
       $efa->use_near_stops($bool)
       $efa->walk_speed($speed)
       $efa->with_bike($bool)
