Hello Monks Brave and True.

I started a new endeavor today to use JIRA::REST to pull back info from our issue-tracker. It seemed to install ok. My little example is something like: 

use JIRA::REST;
my $J = 
  JIRA::REST->new( { url => 'myurl', user=>'me', pass='secret' } );
my $issue = $J->GET( 'issue/ZZ-1234');

It seems to get past "new" OK, although I'm not really sure how to tell if it actually logged in. I tried both valid, and invalid credentials and it didn't seem to matter. But an invalid URL throws an error,. So question #1 is "how can I tell if I authenticated?" . I'm not as concerned with this as question #2 however..

I checked and "url/issue/ZZ-1234" is a valid URL in Moz.

Then the GET() errors, saying "rest/api/latestissue/ZZ-1234" ... is not a valid resource. The module put those extra dirs into the URL itself. I stepped through it and I saw where it added them. Question #2- would these resources just BE THERE on a JIRA server? Or would the administrator need to somehow enable them? Is there a way (for a non-JIRA admin Perl programmer) to find them? We don't really have a JIRA admin here anymore.

This seems to be a minimally documented , and used module , so I'm struggling ..

TY and stay safe my friends!
