# DESCRIPTION

Skype::Any is Skype API wrapper. It was inspired by Skype4Py.

Note that Skype::Any is using Skype Desktop API. However, Skype Desktop API will stop working in December 2013. You can not use lastest version of Skype.

# METHODS

- `my $skype = Skype::Any->new()`

    Create an instance of Skype::Any.

    - name => 'Skype::Any' : Str

        Name of your application. This name will be shown to the user, when your application uses Skype.

    - protocol => 8 : Num

        Skype protocol number.

- `$skype->attach()`

    Attach to Skype. However, you need not call this method. When you call `$skype->run()`, it will be attach to Skype automatically.

    If you want to manage event loop, you have to call this method. e.g. running with Twiggy:

        $skype->attach;

        my $twiggy = Twiggy::Server->new(
            host => $http_host,
            port => $http_port,
        );
        $twiggy->register_service($app);

        $skype->run;

- `$skype->run()`

    Running an event loop. You have to call this method at the end.

- `$skype->message_received(sub { ... })`

        $skype->message_received(sub {
          my ($chatmessage) = @_;

          ...
        });

    Register 'chatmessage' handler for when a chat message is coming.

- `$skype->create_chat_with($username, $message)`

    Send a $message to $username.

    Alias for:

        $skype->user($username)->chat->send_message($message);

## OBJECTS

- `$skype->user($id)`

    Create new instance of [Skype::Any::Object::User](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Skype::Any::Object::User).

        $skype->user(sub { ... })

    Register \_ (default) handler.

        $skype->user($name => sub { ... }, ...)

    Register $name handler.

        $skype->user($id);
        $skype->user(sub {
        });
        $skype->user($name => sub {
        });

    this code similar to:

        $skype->object(user => $id);
        $skype->object(user => sub {
        });
        $skype->object(user => $name => sub {
        });

    `$skype->profile`, `$skype->call`, ..., these methods are the same operation.

- `$skype->profile()`

    Note that this method takes no argument. Profile object doesn't have id.
