I've been using a perl module originally put together by Owen Crow back in
the TSM 2.x days. It works with a command-line userid/password, or it can
get an ID and password from a .dsmrc file in the user's home directory. Take
a look at http://www.io.com/~ocrow/ADSM/Adsm.html -- there may be a few
minor tweaks needed, I think Owen got away from ADSM before it became TSM.
