Not really, because it requires hard coding the configuration file
location and loading that first; far better to use PERL_LIB or similar
to set it. [Or just install into the appropriate location if you're
using suexec or something.]
Couple comments really quick so I remember when I or someone else
applies this:
=== added directory 'Debbugs/SOAP'
=== added file 'Debbugs/SOAP/Usertag.pm'
--- /dev/null
+++ Debbugs/SOAP/Usertag.pm
@@ -0,0 +1,18 @@
+package Usertag;
should be package Debbugs::SOAP::Usertag;
=== added file 'cgi/soap.cgi'

+#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

+package debbugs;

+use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
+use vars qw($gSoapDir $gLibDir);
+
+BEGIN {
+ require '/etc/debbugs/config';
+ if (defined($gLibDir) && $gLibDir) {
+ push @INC, $gLibDir;
+ }
+}
This creates a dependency on the config file which isn't needed; same
with everything below..
+SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
+ -> dispatch_to($gSoapDir, 'Usertag')
making this just Debbugs::SOAP::Usertag; is better... however I kind
of think that this will have to become Debbugs::SOAP eventually, with
the SOAP module use'ing all the appropriate sub modules.
