DESCRIPTION
    This module fetches advertiser information for a given Text Link Ads
    publisher account.

    See <http://www.text-link-ads.com/publisher_program.php?ref=23206>.

METHODS
  ->new( \%options )
    Instantiate a new TextLinkAds object.

   %options
    cache
        Optional. By default this module will try to use Cache::FileCache to
        store data retrieved from the text-link-ads.com site for one hour.
        You may use the "cache" parameter to provide an alternative object
        that implements the Cache::Cache interface. To disable caching set
        "cache" to a scalar value that resolves to "false".

    tmpdir
        Optional. A temporary directory to use when caching data. The
        default behaviour is to use the directory determined by
        File::Spec->tmpdir.

  ->fetch( $inventory_key, \%options )
    Fetch advertiser information for the given key. It will first attempt to
    get the data from the cache where available, and failing that will send
    a request to text-link-ads.com, using the *_proxy environment variables
    and the If-Modified_Since request header.

   $inventory_key
    Required. The XML Key for the desired site as provided by Text Link Ads.

   %options
    user_agent
        Optional. In the vanilla code examples provided by Text Link Ads,
        both the user agent and referer CGI environment variables are
        included in the URI used to retrieve the XML data. While the link
        appears to function without them, it would probably be polite to
        include them where possible.

    referer
        See above.
