Things have changed a lot. =) The perl script is gone in 1.2/2.2 in the 
interest of ease of installation. But ...

... if you're going to build a new app, you _really_ want Horde 1.3. It's 
mostly stable; the API is still coalescing a bit, but it is _much_ better 
designed than 1.2 ever was. There's even some API documentation - 
http://chuck.bitgroup.com/api/ is updated every hour.

It does require php4, btw. Taking a look at the cvs of IMP/Turba/Gollem should 
give you an idea of how apps are put together with the new stuff.

Let us know if you have any questions. Any hints what you're working on?

Where is the information on how to generate this documentation?

I'll share when I have something worth sharing.  :)
