FreshMeat (http://freshmeat.net) provides a very simple XML-RPC API which allows a user to inspect what projects the user as uploaded and also provides an update & withdrawal mechanism of the users projects.
Requirements....
1) Must have a FreshMeat login & password
2) Must have already loaded project onto http://freshmeat.net
For now see ./examples/freshmeat-submit.pl.
More details to follow.
None
For session methods see WWW::FreshMeat::API::Session
For Freshmeats public API which are mapped to methods see WWW::FreshMeat::API::Pub & WWW::FreshMeat::API::Pub::V1_03
Constructor only testing attribute. Not sure this will survive alpha so ignore for now!

There certainly was! More on that later ;-)
Thanks to Stevan Little and cast of thousands for the brilliant Moose module. Using Moose really made developing this module simple and lots of fun!
Thanks to Niek Albers, http://www.daansystems.com/ for his excellent XML::RPC module.

Python script written by ESR no less! http://freshmeat.net/projects/freshmeat-submit/
freshmeat-submit was written in 2003 and last updated 2004. I didn't find freshmeat-submit to be useful to me when writing WWW::FreshMeat::API. Fingers crossed WWW::FreshMeat::API won't look as crufty as freshmeat-submit does after 5 and bit years ;-)
This is alpha software. It does not contain necessary tests & checks yet ;-(
However FreshMeat API is very simple & WWW::FreshMeat::API does work for me.
I hope to make it beta status very shortly!
