some action scripts for lithium

I've hacked up two action scripts for Lithium:

jira_alert.pl: create an issue in Jira. I'd suggest running this one after a while (like 5 minutes or so) so you don't get bugs created for transient incidents. It has to keep some state, so it uses a Berkeley DB hash - currently that's stored in /var/tmp - you should change that to somewhere better that you know your Lithium instance can write to.
jabber_alert.pl: send an alert message to a (comma-separated) list of recipients. It turns out, of course, that somewhere in the twisty little maze of Perl dependencies there's some bitrot in an unmaintained module (XML::Stream) that causes it to barf if you're using the OpenFire Jabber server, so you'll need to patch a few lines of code - see the top of jabber_alert.pl for instructions on this.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.

but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :
