Bug #50955 for WordPress-XMLRPC: Possible bug when setting "excerpt"?

Hi, I've been using Wordpress::XMLRPC successfully to post items, but until today I hadn't tried setting an "excerpt" for a posting. I'm trying the following: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use WordPress::XMLRPC; use YAML; # Post to WordPress: my $wpconf = YAML::LoadFile(".wppost") or die "Can't get WP authentication info: $!\n"; my $wprpc = WordPress::XMLRPC->new ({ proxy => $wpconf->{p}, username => $wpconf->{U}, password => $wpconf->{P} }) or die "Can't connect to WP xmlrpc: $!\n"; my $postid = $wprpc->newPost({ title => 'Excerpt test', excerpt => 'this is the excerpt', description => 'this is the description' }) or die "Can't post to WP: $!\n"; print "Successfully posted at $postid\n"; exit; This completes successfully, as far as creating the new post with the correct title and body, but the excerpt remains blank (as viewed from the web-pased "edit posts" page, as well as the front page of the blog). The WordPress version is 2.8.5, and WordPress::XMLRPC is 1.21. Thanks in advance for any advice.
