All of the methods you might want for this are defined in RT::Record
and you can read their documentation with 
perldoc /opt/rt3/lib/RT/Record.pm

Try searching for CustomFieldValue

Thanks for your reply. However, I cannot get perldoc to work, when I run perldoc /opt/rt3/lib/RT/Record.pm I get
No documentation found for "/opt/rt3/lib/RT/Record.pm".
I have verified that Record.pm is in the specified directory. Could this be because my RT is installed using the RPM packages from http://www.tlviewer.org/rt3/rt-3.8.2/ and that the docs are missing?

Sorry, I did only check that the path to the pm files was correct. I do not have any Record.pm anywhere on the server...
