Hello Ben Chemys,
Thank you for your answer I have a couple more questions if you don’t mind. When you say Generally Minor, this would inspire me to try the mods, since I really need this to work on this Linux platform. Is there an older API version that works with both 7.5 Remedy and ARSPerl 1.91? I am not aware of a newer version of the Perl API than 1.91, is there one? If I were to attempt to modify the ARSPerl as mentioned in your email. Understanding the full extent of what I need to change is the real question here. Can you be a little more descriptive of the types of things I need to look at here? Maybe a small example or list if applicable? Any and all help is appreciated.

When the API changes (in this case to 7.5) you cannot use the old api Perl source code without changes. The changes are generally minor. I have not done this for this release but have done so for a previous release. (and the error will be in the same f()). The Perl source code will have some #ifdef against the API version. Generally wf functions do change from release to release. You can either wait for the Perl source to change or change it yourself.

Has anyone successfully performed this install on this version? I am trying to install ARSPerl 1.91 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) Linux 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 GNU/Linux I am asking you because you have had success with this on Linux on the past. The ARSPerl installer fails because of the ar. h file. It picked a line out I am using the 7.5 API Library. My error is: cant map "deprecated" to an artype for "AR_SERVER_INFO_FT_COLLECTION_DIR" something went wrong when i ran ""/usr/bin/perl" infra/exsi.pl < "/usr2/api75p2/api/include/ar.h" > serverTypeInfoHints.h" (rv = 2304, expected 0) at Makefile.PL line 242. Anyone have any ideas of what has to be modified in the vanilla ar.h file to Should I be using a different ARSPerl version?
