Thanks for the pointer. I already assumed everything you said regarding
no support for the time being. Perhaps I shouldn't have opened up this
can of worms on the list, but I know how everyone hates to get personal
e-mail. In any case, I will grab the perl module and give it a whirl.
Aside from bug reports, would you be willing to consider patches
if I were so inclined to work out some of the kinks for you?
