OK, I will aim to use compatible RT API libraries. I can host more than
one version on the remote client if required.
It would be useful to be able to determine the version of RT running on
the client and server via the API. I can use REST to determine the
version of the RT on the remote version:
e.g. http://..../REST/1.0 returns
RT/3.8.HEAD 401 Credentials required
Is there a way to access/report the RT version library verion from
within Perl. In Python I would use something like:
print 'matplotlib.__version__: ', matplotlib.__version__
thanks

Hi,
Sorry for delay. Didn't know how to describe situation.
1) Don't use REST for anything except creating and replying to
tickets. REST needs complete rewrite.
2) Anything that does reporting via higher level than perl API will
suffer performance issues at some point.
3) You can write a perl program that talks to one set of RT libraries
at a moment.
4) You can write a program that can work with 3.8 API and 4.0 API.
5) Never use RT libraries that don't match DB.

OK, my current two RT instances are 3.8(production) and
4.05 (Development). The 3.8 system will move to 4.06 soon.
Use of REST is a possibility but would be mission creep at
the moment.
To avoid problems it would be useful to be able to get the RT version
numbers programmatically for:
(i) local RT API libraries
(ii) remote host [this could use REST] if the local API does not
support it.
