DESCRIPTION
    Base API class for Net::Flickr::* libraries

    Options are passed to Net::Flickr::Backup using a Config::Simple object
    or a valid Config::Simple config file. Options are grouped by "block".

        String. *required*

        A valid Flickr API key.

    * auth_token
        String. *required*

PACKAGE METHODS
  __PACKAGE__->new($cfg)
    Where $cfg is either a valid *Config::Simple* object or the path to a
    file that can be parsed by *Config::Simple*.

    Returns a *Net::Flickr::API* object.

OBJECT METHODS
  $obj->api_call(\%args)
    Valid args are :

    * method
        A string containing the name of the Flickr API method you are
        calling.

    * args
        A hash ref containing the key value pairs you are passing to
