NAME
       SUSE::BugzillaClient - A Client Library for accessing a bugzilla
       server.

DESCRIPTION
       SUSE::BugzillaClient is a client Library for accessing a bugzilla
       server.  Note: The server has to support XML output (&ctype=xml).  It
       can query bugs by ID or the URL of a search. It returns a hash for each
       bug that contains the bugs properties.

SYNOPSIS
       use SUSE::BugzillaClient;

       #login to bugzilla my $jar = bzConnect( 'username','pw' );

       #call query methods with the $jar object

       #do something meaningful with the result, see BugzillaClientTest.pl

METHODS
       bzConnect( $user, $pass )
           Login to standard bugzilla and get the cookie $jar

       getBug( $jar, $bugid )
           Get a bug by id, returns a bug hash with the following content: (
           "bug_id", "creation_ts", "short_desc", "delta_ts", "product",
           "component", "version", "rep_platform", "op_sys", "bug_status",
           "priority", "bug_severity", "target_milestone", "resolution" )

       getBugs( $jar, $url )
           Get a list of bug hashes by providing a search url (like
           https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=openSUSE+10.3&bug_status=NEEDINFO)

       getBugsCSV( $jar, $url )
           Get a list of bug hashes by providing a CSV search url (like
           https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=openSUSE+10.3&bug_status=NEEDINFO&ctype=csv,
           get this URL from the "CSV" link on the bottom of the search result
           page)

           Faster than using getBugs() because not all XML output has to be
           parsed, but only these fields will be available in the bug hashes:
           bug_id, changeddate, bug_severity, priority, assigned_to, reporter,
           bug_status, product, short_short_desc (!)
