sotona has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks,

I need to make my test framework (proprietary, Perl-written) interact with Rational ClearQuest.
Google says there is a module CQPerlExt which implements all basic methods, but CPAN search gave me nothing.

Does anyone know where to get one?

Thank you.

    I suggest you research the tool further, Rational ClearQuest:

    "Aside from the ClearQuest Designer, ClearQuest also provides a full API to allow programmatic access to ClearQuest. Like the hook code, this API is via Perl on Unix and Linux and either Perl or VBScript on Windows. Rather than providing a Perl module for an existing Perl installation, IBM includes their own version of Perl with ClearQuest (called "cqperl", now deprecated in favour of "ratlperl") to allow administrative access to the "CQPerlExt" module."

    Emphasis added by me.

      Well, IBM has articles on how to work around CQ API without this module but using Win32::OLE. This is not an option for me as I have no MS Windows stations at my environment.
