As stated in my email, your current version of ARS Perl will work fine against the 7 AR Server given that it has appropriate (6.3? 6?) shared libraries and has been installed correctly.
To wit: All ARS API code (including ARSPerl) is compatible with newer versions of the server notwithstanding that an administrator places a minimum API level restriction on the server. If you really want a newer version of ARSPerl, even though the older one will work fine, then read on for the changes to the sources. Note that your version of the source may not match mine. Mine was gotten about 7 or so months ago. You will also need to understand the ARS Perl make itself. It creates an ARS.xs from ARS.c which it then compiles instead of ARS.c. Line numbers are approximate and may be quite different of your sources have been updated. Search for the calls mentioned. 2 changes in ARS.c: 1) additional parameter in ARGetSchema at around line 2650 2) ditto in ARGetFieldCached (I added a new call ifdef'd for >= rel 7) at ~ line 2880 then terminated the ifdef a few lines below. 1 change in support.c 1) ARGetField gets a new parameter at around line 3280 All new parameters were the constant NULL and were inserted with appropriate #ifdef's and comments indicating the changes. It shouldn't take more than a few hours with a UNIX competent developer. Though it could take much longer without.

We are working to migrate a client from v5 to v7. A couple of the interfaces use ARSPerl, and we'd like to avoid redesigning the entire solution. If any further information is available, it'd be a great help. I have done some research and see no mention of a new release of ARSPerl for v7 at this stage. Again, if anyone can report a proposed timeframe for this release, it'd be handy to know.
