This isn't what you asked for, but there are some very easy ways to add loot via perl. This link should help, you just need to add the new functions into your server's quest files.
You can easily specify a level range, multiple loot tables with different chances, loot by race #, and also have it be zone or world loot depending on where you put the file.
