  That's excellent. In retrospect, XS is a very obvious way to deal with that :)...

  Reddit::API has been renamed to Reddit::Client. Thank you for the suggestion....
• Posted Simplified error cleanup with Filter::Cleanup to Jeff Ober

  Writing fault-tolerant programs can be a tedious exercise. Often, each step in the program logic depends on the success of the step prior, resulting in deeply nested calls to eval. Tracking the global $@ and ensuring that errors are not lost can be tricky and result in hard-to-follow logic.

• Posted Reddit::API renamed to Reddit::Client to Jeff Ober

  To better fit CPAN's naming conventions, Reddit::API has been renamed to Reddit::Client. As there are no dependencies in the reverse lookup graph, Reddit::API is scheduled for deletion.

  I'm a little confused as to how you are supposed to interact with retrieved links:

  my $links = $reddit->fetch_links(subreddit => '/r/perl', limit => 10);
  foreach my $current_link (@{$links->{items}}) {
      print $current_link->{'title'} ."\n";
  }
  

  That generates a whole bunch of warnings before printing the titles:

  Field distinguished is missing from package Reddit::Client::Link
   at /usr/local/share/perl/5.12.4/Reddit/Client.pm line 403
  

  Am I doing it wrong?
