Hey, this is very cool! After having read pudge's entry on SOAP I just had to try the SOAP interface. And here it is :-) I guess I'll have to come up with WxUsePerl at some point...
The interface could use some docs, but pudge said those would be added "later today". I guess it's time for me to get my pre2slash script together (shouldn't be hard at all, the only thing it needs to take into account are contiguous char limits). Journalling from within vi does definitely have something to it that beats a tiny (on my large hi-res screen) textarea.
