Extensions
Introduction
Here is a list of several RT extensions packaged and available from CPAN or other places. A complete list can be found at https://metacpan.org/search?q=RT%3A%3AExtension&search_type=modules
Most of these extensions are prepared with Module::Install::RTx module, which allows you to package extension easily and quickly. People who would like to package their extensions should read the module's documentation.
Help maintain this page
Please sort and refactor this list; RT::Extension is a verbose but lexigraphically equivalent form of RTx. Also note, that links to a particular version of a module on search.cpan may rot when later versions are released, used a perldoc query instead.
