__NOTOC__
Alpha release of a Smolder server:

  http://biobase2.ist.unomaha.edu:8080/app/projects/smoke_reports/1

Run around in there and click all the pretty buttons and such. Neat? Not?

==Sending a report to Smolder==

To report into Smolder, first you create a report. (If you grabbed bioperl-live out of SVN or git you'll need to run <code>./Build.pl</code> once.)

 # From bioperl-live (trunk) directory:
 prove -I. --recurse --archive test_run.tar.gz

Then you [http://search.cpan.org/~wonko/Smolder-1.51/lib/Smolder/Manual.pm#Uploading_to_Smolder Upload that report to Smolder.]

===LWP::UserAgent===
 
If you have LWP installed and don't want to install the Smolder dependency stack just to get <code>smolder_smoke_signal</code>, you can use LWP::UserAgent:

 use LWP::UserAgent; 
 my $response = LWP::UserAgent->new()->post(
        'http://biobase2.ist.unomaha.edu:8080/app/projects/process_add_report/1',
        Content_Type => 'form-data',
        Content      => [

            revision     => '16962',
        ]
 );
 print $response->content;
