There's a RT::Client::REST perl module, which is useful only if you're using Perl of course :) (Though I have mentioned pyperl to some members of this list before...) I've basically cloned the contrib 'rt' CLI tool in Python, and using that to talk to the webservices interface. You can minimise pain and suffering if you don't want to do anything fancy, really. It goes about 80% of the way there, but once you start wanting to get certain bits of metadata you enter the realm of complex parsing algorithms and heuristics :( I'll happily give you a crash course in it if you front up the psychotropes though :-) _______________________________________________ coders mailing list coders@slug.org.au http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
