Defaults to true.

use_location_service

If set to a true value, LocationService will be used to determine the correct endpoint URL based on the account being used.

Defaults to true.

cache

Allows the user to pass in a Cache::Cache object to be used for cacheing WSDL information and account locations.

Defaults to using Cache::FileCache

cache_expire_time

Set the amount of time WSDL information should be cached.

Defaults to 1 day.

last_command_group

After a request, this will be set to the name of the last command group used.

wsdl_init

Accesses the appropriate wsdl and parses it to determine how to serialize / deserialize requests and responses. Note that you must have set the endpoint.

If you do not call it, calling any soap method on the service will force it to be called.

parse_config

Usage: ->parse_config( path => '/path/to/config.yml', section => 'some_section', # for example, 'sandbox' );

Defaults: path => 'yahoo-marketing.yml' # in current working directory section => 'default'

Attempts to parse the given config file, or yahoo-marketing.ysm in the current directory if no path is specified.

parse_config() returns $self, so you can do things like this:

    my $service = Yahoo::Marketing::CampaignService->new->parse_config();

The default config section used is 'default'

Note that "default_account", "default_on_behalf_of_username", and "default_on_behalf_of_password" are not required. If present, they will be used to set "account", "on_behalf_of_username", and "on_behalf_of_password" *if* those values have not already been set.

See example config file in the EXAMPLES section of perldoc Yahoo::Marketing
