The table of contents at http://arsperl.sourceforge.net/manual/toc.html does not represent in any way the current status of the arsperl manual.
See http://arsperl.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/arsperl/ARSperl/html/manual/toc.html?revision=1.29 for an up-to-date version. To build web services via arsperl, I'd probably do this: - Create a web service in the admin tool - Retrieve the corresponding arsperl data structure via ars_GetContainer - Create a readable output of the structure with e.g. Data::Dumper - Use this structure as basis for the input to ars_CreateContainer Regards, Thilo Carey Matthew Black wrote: > Marc, > > If you are going to create an ARS Web Service Object ( So that ARS > will publish an Web Services interface for other applications to talk > to.) then you will be creating an ARS Container.
