Didn't make it to the ML due to being posted from a unknown account,

I never had heard of perl when I installed my first RT (2.07) but
reading a bit on the topic and being familiar with make/gcc and I
managed to get it up and running.

Things are much better then in the 2.x days :-)

I think lots of people use it in a one queueu one purpose way. I do for
example. We move tickets manually to other queues when needed and have
little extra custom logic added to our install.

What I remember of my training way back when 3.0 was out and 3.2 was
coming is that on day one we got a general tour of RT and on day two
there was a deep dive into things like scrips and internal workings of
RT but not so much about how to setup complex routing.

Maybe someone on the list who has complex ticket routing is willing to
explain how to do that, in general terms or with specific code, anyone??
