Hi Kenn,
We have Remedy Helpdesk and I would be interested in your
Perl program to test conversion to RT.

Regards,
Jason

 and process should. All you would have to do is change the syntax and
 any environmental setups so the program would work for you and you've
 got it. Anyone interested in that?

Yes, please add these to the wiki. We have had similar needs and
having some samples to look at can really speed up implementation
even on different DB platforms.

Cheers,
Ken
