Building a Perl Module for Posting to Bluesky Social
<p>The new social network <a href="https://bsky.app/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Bluesky Social</a> has made quite a splash as Twitter continues its irresistible slide and users seek the latest in a series of friendly boltholes. Making automated posts to social media is an important part of my various business ventures, so I wanted teach myself how to build a Bluesky bot and get my feeds up and running there as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>Bluesky Social runs on the open-source <a href="https://atproto.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol</a>. The documentation is very thorough, but it’s a lot to plow through when all you really want to do is learn how to use the API to make a simple post. Because I’m old and do most of my work in Perl, I hoped there might be CPAN module that would nicely encapsulate the API, <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Mastodon::Client" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">like there is for Mastodon</a>. I couldn’t find one.</p>
