4 MIDI-Perl
5
6MIDI-Perl is a suite of Perl modules that allows you to read, compose,
7modify, and write MIDI files. It is largely object-oriented, but if
8you follow the example code, you should be able to get along fine.

10See http://interglacial.com/~sburke/pub/perl_midi/ for more info.

14PREREQUISITES
15
16This suite requires Perl 5.
17
18MIDI-Perl uses no external libraries at this time, aside from Carp,
19which has been standard for as long as I can remember. If you want to
20use MIDI::Opus::draw, you'll also need GD.pm, however.

24INSTALLATION
25
26You install this module-suite, as you would install any perl module
27library, by running these commands:
28
29 perl Makefile.PL
30 make
31 make test
32 make install
33
34If you want to install a private copy of this module-suite in your home
35directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with
36something like this command:
37
38 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl
39
40See perldoc perlmodinstall for more information on installing modules.

44DOCUMENTATION

47recent changes. POD-style documentation is included in all modules.
48POD is readable with the 'perldoc' utility.

54Don't bother with the makefiles.
55Just move MIDI.pm and the "MIDI" folder into your MacPerl library
56folder. Read the PODs with Shuck.
