Quite simply, by writing your own pages and copying to the appropriate
place in the WebRT/html tree.  For some curious reason, a lot of working
example pages are already provided for you, including authentication to
the RT system ;)

Firstly, think about what you want to do, and the RT variables that you
need to do it.  Have a close look through the examples, and especially
read through the HTML::Mason perldoc.  Any custom pages that you create
will be Mason's bastardised mixture of HTML and perl code, which works out
extremely well.
