Perl MediaWiki API Skript
3. September 2008 – 18:32The module provides an interface between Perl and the MediaWiki API (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API) allowing creation of scripts to automate editing and extraction of data from MediaWiki driven sites like Wikipedia.
Why to use?
MediaWiki API provides some needfull options, you can’t use in a loop. i.E. list allcategories and list allpages each a category.
I tried to use this great module but it requires the Perl module JSON::XS (available as libjson-xs-perl on Debian lenny/sid). libjson is depend on perl 5.10. That is my problem until now. I can’t get perl 5.10 running.

Hi,
What version of debian are you running ? Did you try installing JSON::XS directly from cpan ?
I can probably build you a perl package with libjson. Let me know your architecture and debian version.
