We're looking at rolling out RT (request tracker) with a plugin/addon called Asset Tracker for this purpose.  The caveat is that I 
haven't got experience yet using it in production, but I am excited as it seems quite useful/extensible/customizeable.   RT is 
mainly written in Perl and seems to be in quite widespread use.
