Perl?

[Alex McLintock <al...@OWAL.co.uk>]

Hi folks,

I would like to modify my XIndice documents using perl but I haven't seen 
anyone actually doing that.
Is it possible with current technology?

Cheers

Alex

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.
