Re: [Arsperl-users] ARS Perl and Remedy V7

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

Hi,

I'm currently working on the V7 migration. In fact, my private version 
of ARSperl already works with ARS 7.0 (but doesn't compile against older 
API versions, so I haven't anything released for now).
Hopefully I'll find the time to do some work during this week, so the 
new code might be checked in to the Sourceforge CVS by next weekend.


Regards,
Thilo Stapff
