NAME

SYNOPSIS

use Drupal::Admin;my $admin = new Drupal::Admin(baseurl => 'http://localhost');$admin->login(user => 'admin', password => 'lukeskywalker')$admin->offline;$admin->online;$admin->update;$admin->runcron;my $statusreport = $admin->status;my $status = $admin->enabletheme('garland, 0');my $theme = $admin->defaulttheme('bluemarine');

NOTES

Most of the methods in this class depend on English strings from the pages'value fields, because WWW:Mechanize doesn't useid fields as selectors. This module will most likely not work for sites that aren't in English.

METHODS

login

Perform login to the site. Takes two required parameters,user andpassword. The user must have administrator privileges within drupal. Calls die() on error.
