sched-outages.pl script, a command line tool to the scheduled outages RESTful interface
Description
Attached is a perl script which provides a command line interface to creating or updating a scheduled outage via the command line interface.
Useful when you need to create or update an existing scheduled outage with a large number of nodes.
You can specify nodes to include on the command line. It will do a database lookup to find the node ids, and any nodes that list the given nodes as their parent.
You can also give a list of surveillence categories to use as a filter for including nodes. The special character sequence %h will be replaced in any listed category with the nodes listed on the command line.
Ex: --node "yellowstone ozark denali" --category "Zones_%h" would be result in the categories "Zones_yellowstone Zones_ozark Zones_denali" being used to find nodes to add to the outage.

This is really cool!
I'd suggest to provide a way to override DB parameters because the script is assuming the DB is running on the same machine with the default credentials.
Also, pass a plain list of nodeId and IP Address can be useful as well (in this case the DB connection can be used to verify if the IDs and IPs are correct).
