Well, I've had some success filing a RT request recently; the workflow was something like that: - go to rt.perl.org - if somewhere near the upper left corner of your screen there's text saying "Welcome anonymous guest", click "Login as another user" right next to it - if you don't have a Bitcard account, create one, it's a matter of seconds - click on the "Log in with it" text in the "Bitcard account" box - after logging in, you should see a localized button saying something like "New ticket" near the upper right corner of your screen; there's a listbox next to it allowing you to choose the Perl version to file a ticket for - write the ticket information and submit it - that's it :) Well, I do admit that the "Login as another user" and the "New ticket" buttons were just a little bit hard to find at first glance, but other than that, it was pretty straightforward, at least for me.
