=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use PX::API;

    my $px = PX::API->new({
                        api_key => '13243432434',  #Your api key
                        secret  => 's33cr3tttt',   #Your api secret
                        });

    my $response = $px->call('px.test.echo',{
					arg1 => 'val1',
					arg2 => 'val2',
					});


=head1 DESCRIPTION

A response object from the Peekshows Web Services API.  C<PX::API::Response>
is a subclass of L<HTTP::Response> allowing for access to any response
parameters.  C<Module::Pluggable::Object> is used to allow an extensible
'plugin' style method for loading response modules.

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Along with the response parameters available from C<HTTP::Response>,
the following parameters are added for API responses.

=over 4

=item C<success>

=item C<response>

=head1 RESPONSE PLUGINS

A response plugin is simply a module that transforms the API response
format into a usable perl object.  Obviously this is not always necessary
and the original structure is always available via C<$response->{_content}>.

Response plugins are required to have to following methods available via
its public api:

=over 4

=item C<format()>

The C<format()> method is used by C<PX::API::Response> to match a plugin
with the format argument sent to the Peekshows API.  This method simply 
needs to return the name of the plugin format. ie: 'rest', 'json'

=item C<parse($content)>

The C<parse()> method is called upon completion of an API call and is
passed the C<_content> returned from the call.  This method need only
return the perl object which was created from parsing the content.
