I provide hosting for electoral campaigns. A common need among campaigns is for a way of handling scheduling requests. A scheduling request is sort of like a trouble ticket (as would be managed by RT), but its also tied (usually) to a specific date, time and place where the person making the request is holding the event and is inviting the candidate or a proxy designated by the campaign to show up and make a presentation or otherwise participate. Though sometimes a scheduling request might encompass a range of possible dates/times a local organizer is willing or able to host and organize a particular event.

In the hopes that I need not have to re-invent the wheel, can anyone here please suggest an existing tool, written in perl preferably (for the sake of administration and maintainance) or otherwise, which would handle such a need? All ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
-- Hugh
