       id => 120076,
       last_updated_raw => "8 hours ago",
       severity => "Wishlist",
       status => "new",
       title => "Option to return items in order?",

DESCRIPTION

This module provides some functions to retrieve data from https://rt.cpan.org by scraping the web pages. Compared to RT::Client::REST, it provides less functionality but it can get public information without having to log in first.

FUNCTIONS

list_dist_active_tickets

Usage:

 list_dist_active_tickets(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

List active tickets for a distribution.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • dist* => perl::distname

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
