The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Matt Taggart <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to programmatically adjust list priority. What I 
would like to do is set list priority based on list size, so that lists 
with fewer subscribers have a higher priority than lists with many 
subscribers. I have split our lists into groups based on size and now I 
want to set their priority. Rather than adjust the config files by hand, I 
know that sympa has functions to make adjustments, rotate the configs 
safely, etc. and I would prefer to use those. I read the code and am trying 
to use the List module but I am having problems. Here's an example of how I 
am trying to use it

  use List;

  $name='test';
  $robot='lists.example.com';

  my $list = new List ($name,$robot) or die "cannot construct\n";
  print "$list->{'admin'}{'priority'}\n";

but when I try to run it dies when constructing.

Is this something I can expect to be able able do with the List module?
Does the above look right?
Can someone provide an example of how to query and set the priority for a 
list?

FYI- my script for adjusting the priorities is at
