hi this sounds interestimg. well i downloaded the client libaries for OpenSRS which i should use to write a new client. So i don't know this libaries very good. The whole documentation shows examples in perl. But for any reason we want to have it in ruby. The libary should be used cause so we stay up to date without doin to much. So what is 00? Perl is also quite new for me. What is YARAA?
