Sorry I can't provide more details, but the following script (on my system) fails to produce any results: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use MediaWiki::API; my $mw = MediaWiki::API->new(); $mw->{config}->{on_error} = \&on_error; sub on_error { print "Error code: " . $mw->{error}->{code} . "\n"; print $mw->{error}->{details}. "\n"; die; } $mw->{config}->{api_url} = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php'; my $articles = $mw->list( { action => 'query', list => ' allpages', } ); print $articles, "\n"; I just get '0' ! Using latest CPAN version of MediaWiki::API (MediaWiki-API-0.23). Other queries seem to work fine.

you have a space before "allpages". works without this. Note that to list all the pages could take a zillion years to complete. Better to use with a hook, and process gradually, or you will probably run out of memory! :)

One thing, it should return an arrayref and instead it returns a blank array in this case (not by reference). this will be fixed. The API does return a "warning" which isn't currently handled by the perl list wrapper, but you can always call directly via the "api" call if some behaviour seems strange. So if you get a problem with ->list try ->api instead and see the hashref that gets returned. Cheers

Will do. Thanks for the cool code, and thanks for taking the time to reply to these bugs.
