Of course Perl can seemlessly access all the functionality of OGo provided
by the shell tools. In addition Perl supports
XML-RPC very well and OGo provides examples for that.
As a matter of fact its simple to integrate existing Perl based dynamic
webpages into OGo WebUI.
We discovered an old demonstration for using Perl CGI scripts to access the
OpenGroupware.org XML-RPC server:
ogo-cgi.
This should be a good starting point for Perl developers.
Also available is an
old document
containing instructions for installing a Perl XML-RPC client.
