+Why am I posting this here? Because I had a <em>hell</em> of a time finding it. The old <code>raa-xml.xml</code> and <code>raa-rdf.rdf</code> links were broken, the <a href='http://raa.ruby-lang.org/'><acronym title='Ruby Application Archive'>RAA</acronym></a> sample code included with <a href='http://ruby-lang.org/'>Ruby</a> 1.8 wasn't undocumented (and didn't work for me the first time around), and <a href='http://google.com/'>googling</a> for the answer didn't turn up squat. Here's a brief example of how to use the <acronym title='Web Services Description Language'>WSDL</acronym> <acronym title='Uniform Resource Identifier'>URI</acronym> above with the <code>WSDLDriverFactory</code> class included with <a href='http://ruby-lang.org/'>Ruby</a> 1.8:

+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre><code>
+require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
+
+WSDL_URI = 'http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/soap/interface/RAA/0.0.4/'
+
+# connect to RAA and create SOAP proxy object
+raa = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URI).create_driver
+
+# get a list of packages
+pkg_list = raa.names
+
+# get a tree of packages grouped by major/minor category
+pkg_tree = raa.tree_by_category
+
+# get information about a specific package (gem)
+info = raa.gem('rubilicious')
+
+ </code></pre>
