As to the "musical part of music" (!), I mean the MIDI stuff and such, I haven't really looked into that, mainly because we have so much good professional software that it'd seem like reinventing the wheel. Please take that last statement as coming from a musician, ie: "people who bought their first Macintosh computer to be able to run their first Opcode Systems or Mark of the Unicorn music software". I know I could probably put together a Perl version of "Studio Vision" now, but I bought that license 10 years ago! Anybody care to share their experiences with Perl + Music and/or their vision of how both can be put together? Maybe we can start a project: put music to Perl poetry ... print CDs and sell them to the Perl community ... start a www.perlmusicians.com or www.perlmusicmongers.com ... (TMTOWTDI!) Riccardo PD: I'm going to check out MIDI::Realtime and other MIDI modules anyway ... I've been putting it off for too long. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.riccardoperotti.com
