An iterator or array of Flickr::Photo objects sounds like the solution for this particular problem.  Next on your list can you write up an Ebay::Simple module for us?

This has taken valuable time out of my Civilisation 5 playing tonight,
but I've updated Flickr::API2 with some helper methods and pushed them
to the github repo now.
I'll just have to conquer the world tomorrow instead. :)

The API with helper methods looks like this:

my $f = Flickr::API2->new({ ... });

$f->test->echo(foo => 'bar');

my @pics = $f->photos->search(
    tags => 'kitten',
    per_page => 10,
);
foreach my $pic (@pics) {
    say "Title: " . $pic->title;
}


Not complete yet mind, but what do you think of stuff so far?

cheers,
Toby
