RE: Howto write a perl package to interact with steemit
hi,
fist of all thanks for giving it a try.
It seems that https is a thing now so we need some more dependencies.
i have pushed an update into the linked git repositories.
we need as dependancies
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev zlib1g-dev
then we need to install ssl support for perl
cpanm IO::Socket::SSL
the issue with the modern perl is that 2017 is only available in perl5.26 with earlyer versions you can just use it without a date.
Alternatively you can check out my earlyer guide on how to install your local independant perl installation in your home directory.
I have then switched ( also in git ) the url of the steemd service to
https://rpc.steemliberator.com
wich seemed to work find.
But if you want more stable results you may want to think about running you local steemd node.
I had my nodes from this article
best regards

Okay, now I can upvote you. :) Here are three, thank you so much for this project. I determined the IO::Socket::SSL dependency myself, and that other thing I needed to install (looks like you forgot to add the package name in the above? I have forgotten it, and it's not in ~/.bash_history, and I don't want to exit all my "screen" windows right now to find it... Perhaps there's a way to ask dpkg what the last package installed was? Anyway...).
I just tested with https://rpc.steemliberator.com/ and it worked! That's so awesome, thanks again!
Although I had to tabulate my results manually in the contest I ran that just ended, this is great because I will be able to use it in the future.
hi,
thanks a lot and sorry, i forgot to paste the packages.
i have updated the post.
hi,
i found a good site https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Public_Websocket_Servers wich seems to be quiet up to date
