rjk Perl implementation: Sforce::Sfdc v0.04
Here's the new version of the Sforce::Sfdc module.
http://www.focalex.com/sforce/Sforce-Sfdc-0.04.tar.gz
Changes:
Added $Sforce::Sfdc::err and the err() method for access to Sforce numeric fault codes
Added print_error and raise_error options, as in DBI
Added private _error() method for setting errors and handling print_error and raise_error
Added wantarray() support to query() method
Added and updated tests
Updated documentation
Please download it, try it out, and send me your feedback.
Issues I'm currently thinking about:
1) Switching from XML-RPC to SOAP, as Salesforce has said they'll be focusing development on the SOAP API from now on.
2) Should the error message resulting from raise_error and print_error include the numeric fault code in addition to the error string? That will make looking up errors in the documentation easier.
3) More featues that I should add. Suggestions?
Thanks to Ron Hess and anagram for feedback and patches!

Thanks. Where would I find that?

You'll need to take a look at the salesforce.pm module and update the SOAP endpoint; I've got it working and can post some samples in a bit.
Have been using 0.04 for a while now with no problems but something just came up. A user tried to log in who has a password that is entirely numeric and salesforce reported "password must be a string". The solution was to add
$args{'password'} = type(string => $args{'password'});
in sub login() to set the type appropriately. I also added
$args{'username'} = type(string => $args{'username'});
for kicks.
There probably aren't any other places that this needs to be done since autotype should take care of it, but its worth a look.
Regarding your other questions:
1) SOAP is the way to go. Everyone I speak with at SF tells me the same thing.
2) I don't use these, but I think the fault codes would be useful. The more info the better.
Best regards,
Nicholas
