the Jifty manpage is a full-stack web framework. It provides an optional
REST interface for applications. Using this module, you can interact with
that REST interface to write client-side utilities.

You can use this module directly, but you'll be better off subclassing it,
such as what we've done for the Net::Hiveminder manpage.

This module also provides a number of convenient methods for writing short
scripts. For example, passing 'use_config => 1' to 'new' will look at the
config file for the username and password (or SID) of the user. If neither
is available, it will prompt the user for them.
