WWW::Sixpack - Perl client library for SeatGeek's Sixpack A/B testing framework http://sixpack.seatgeek.com/
=cut

=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Sixpack;
my $sixpack = WWW::Sixpack->new();
# Participate in a test (creates the test if necessary)
my $alternative = $sixpack->participate('new-test', [ 'alt-1', 'alt-2' ],
{ ip_address => $client_ip, user_agent => $client_ua,
force => 'alt-2', traffic_fraction => 0.10 });
if( $alternative->{alternative}{name} eq 'alt-1' ) {
# show data for variant alt-1
} else {
# show data for variant alt-2
}
# Convert
$sixpack->convert('new-test')
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=head2 new
Constructs the WWW::Sixpack object. Options that can be passed in are:
=over 4
=item C<host>
The sixpack server (defaults to 'http://localhost:5000').
=item C<client_id>
The client id if the "user" is known already. By default we generate a new UUID.
=item C<ua>
The useragent to use (defaults to L<LWP::UserAgent>).

sub new {
my ($class, %args) = @_;
my $self = {
host => 'http://localhost:5000',
ua => LWP::UserAgent->new,
json => JSON::Any->new,
client_id => Data::UUID->new->create_str,
%args,
};
bless $self, $class;
}
=head2 participate
This function takes the following arguments:
Arguments:
=over 4
=item C<experiment>
The name of the experiment. This will generate a new experiment when the name is unknown.
=item C<alternatives>
At least two alternatives.
=item C<options>
An optional hashref with the following options:
=over 4
=item C<user_agent>
User agent of the user making a request. Used for bot detection.
=item C<ip_address>
IP address of user making a request. Used for bot detection.
=item C<force>
(optional) Force a specific alternative to be returned
=item C<traffic_fraction>
(optional) Sixpack allows for limiting experiments to a subset of traffic. You can pass the percentage of traffic you'd like to expose the test to as a decimal number here. (0.10 for 10%)

=head2 convert
This function takes the following arguments:
Arguments:
=over 4
=item C<experiment>
The name of the experiment.
=item C<kpi>
A KPI you wish to track. When the KPI is unknown, it will be created.

=head2 _get_response
Internal method to fire the actual request and parse the result
