METHODS
Initialize WWW::Bugzilla object. If bug_number is passed in, will initialize as existing bug. Will croak() unless the Bugzilla login page on server specified returns a 200 or 404. new() supports the following name-value parameters. URL of the bugzilla server you wish to interface with. Do not place http:// or https:// in front of the url (see 'use_ssl' option below) Your email address used by bugzilla, in other words your bugzilla login. Bugzilla password. If set, will use https:// protocol, defaults to http://. NOTE: This option requires Crypt::SSLeay. Bugzilla product name, required if entering new bug (not updating). If you mean to update an existing bug (not create a new one) include a valid bug number here. These are fields that can be initialized on new(), useful for new bugs. Please note that some of these fields apply only to bugs being updated, and if you set them here, they will be overridden if the value is already set in the actual bug on the server. These fields also have thier own get/set methods (see below). get/set the value of these bug fields. Some apply only to new bugs, some only to bugs being updated. commit() must be called to save these permanently. Returns list of available options for field requested. Below are known valid fields: product platform os version priority severity component target_milestone Set the Product for the bug Mark bug being updated as reassigned to another user. Takes email address as parameter. Status/resolution will not be updated until commit() is called. Mark bug being updated as duplicate of another bug number. Takes bug number as argument. Status/resolution will not be updated until commit() is called. Change status of bug being updated. Status/resolution will not be updated until commit() is called. The following are valid options (case-insensitive): assigned fixed invalid wontfix later remind worksforme reopen verified closed Adds attachment to existing bug - will not work for new bugs. Below are available params: filepath (required) description (required) is_patch (optional boolean) content_type - Autodetected if not defined. comment (optional) finished - will not return object to update form if set (optional boolean) Lists attachments that are attached to an existing bug - will not work for new bugs.

In addition, this module does not support ALL of Bugzilla's features. I will consider any patches or improvements, just send me an email at the address listed below.
