It can easily be done if you install the XML-RPC interface to Xindice (see this URL: http://xindice-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net/ ). Attached is a simple Perl program (doupdate.pm) which reads an XUpdate from standard input, and performs that update on the Xindice database. (This line: $server->{debug} = 1; causes Frontier::Client to spew out some information about its communication with the server; remove the line for quiet operation.) I am writing a conduit for pilot-manager so that a Palm Pilot can be synchronized with a database stored in Xindice. I'll post here when it's done. best regards, Jonathan Mark
