DW Perl module client

Does LJ::Simple work reliably with Dreamwidth? If not, is there a comparable perl module that does? (I'd rather rely on someone else's testing than conduct my own, which is likely to be more slipshod)

Also (and relatedly), is there a way that given a DW entry that's been either imported from, or crossposted to, LJ, I can get (programmatically) the ID or URL of the LJ entry, without resorting to comparing timestamps and post contents?

ETA: if there's no Perl thing suitable, does anyone have any ideas for Java packages that would do the same?

(x-posted from [community profile] perl, where I got suggestions to try here)

ETA: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~adamb/dw-thataway.pl.txt is the current state of the script. I've tested it on a small test journal and it seems to do what it's supposed to do. If anyone's brave enough to test it on real-world data and let me have any bug reports, that'd be wonderful.
