| 20 | === Perl client example === |
| 21 | This example accesses the CKAN REST API to get a list of the packages, count the uses of an 'extra' field and then plots it with the Google chart API. Luke broke the CKAN bits out into a CKAN specific client library - Net::CKAN. Luke is open to improving this library and eventually releasing it to CPAN. |
