Andy,

I think there is - you just need to decipher the OO Perl syntax and use this
to navigate the path through the perldocs:

-  $Ticket is a Ticket object - look at the perldoc for RT::Ticket (& _Overlay)
    and you will find that:
- Ticket has a method called Transactions that returns a Transactions object.
   In perldoc RT::Transactions you will find that:
- Transactions has method First that returns a Transaction object -
   In perldoc RT::Transaction you will see:
- Transaction has method Content which returns the transaction's content.

It sounds like a good entry for the wiki FAQ would be 'what RT objects are
available to me in scrips & templates?'. I'm willing to draft an answer
based on Ruslan's contributions to this thread.

Can someone confirm that the naming convention means that the variable
names are composed from base class name + "Obj" - for example the ticket
object is called TicketObj?
