Thanks, I'll have to keep playing with it. After the DMS install started giving me hassles, I wrote my own based on Postgresql. It works (when you add images, it parses the svg and records the relevent metadata for searching). Bulk loading and dumping of images to/from the filesystem is pretty simple. It uses an xml-rpc interface. I've attached a command-line script I wrote to demonstrate the basic use (invoke it without args for documentation), but you can explore the API more directly via xml-rpc at <a href="http://141.166.232.109:8000">http://141.166.232.109:8000</a> , and using the system.listMethods() and system.methodHelp() functions (the script doesn't really accurately represent the API anyway, it was just the easiest way to access it from the command line). The major probs with it right now are that you have to provide png previews of the svg yourself (having the db generate them automatically is totally doable, but I'm having issues with the command-line version of Inkscape... apparently it has to be invoked by the user that owns the running x-server), and I still need to provide the ability to alter metadata on the fly (so you can specify additional keywords, or a description, etc. when you upload an image). Beyond that, though, most other features are simple to add. Does this seem usable?

If I remember correctly, I ran cpan and did: install DBI install SOAP::Transport::HTTP install SOAP::Lite I was just grasping in the dark but it seems to have worked.
