Hello Dev's, I have been trawling the lists and google to find a solution to my problem but have been unable to find anything to get me further than I am.

I found this script on the dev list from a while back and I have been trying to adapt it to work with OTRS 2.2.3 to create a ticket via perl.  The script is exactly where I need to start to help integrate the OTRS system into our workflow here. 

The script is shown below but the error message when I run it from /opt/otrs/bin/CreateTickets2-n.pl is:
[853232650@localhost bin]$ pwd
/opt/otrs/bin
[853232650@localhost bin]$ ./CreateTicket2-n.pl
Got no LogObject! at /opt/otrs/Kernel/System/Time.pm line 70, <PRODUCT> line 4.

-rwxrwxr-x  1 apache apache  2657 Nov 22 21:27 CreateTicket2-n.pl

I am sure the thing I am missing is very simple but I am at a loss as to where to proceed.  The CVS public API seems very straight forward but I cant get past the very basic point where I am.  Any pointers as to how to create a basic ticket with article from Perl using the API would be very appreciated.

Thanks for your help
