1README for MIDI-Perl 2 Time-stamp: "2010-12-23 09:15:20 conklin" 3 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. 9 10See http://interglacial.com/~sburke/pub/perl_midi/ for more info. 11 12 13 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. 21 22 23 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. 41 42 43 44DOCUMENTATION 45 46See lib/MIDI.pm for an overview of the suite. See ChangeLog for 47recent changes. POD-style documentation is included in all modules. 48POD is readable with the 'perldoc' utility. 49 50 51 52MACPERL INSTALLATION NOTES 53 54Don't bother with the makefiles. 55Just move MIDI.pm and the "MIDI" folder into your MacPerl library 56folder. Read the PODs with Shuck. 57 58 59 60SUPPORT 61 62Questions, bug reports, useful code bits, and suggestions for 63MIDI-Perl should just be sent to me at CONKLIN@cpan.org 64 65 66AVAILABILITY 67 68The latest version of MIDI-Perl is available from the Comprehensive 69Perl Archive Network (CPAN). <http://search.cpan.org/> is my favorite 70way to view CPAN. 71 72 73 74COPYRIGHT 75 76Copyright 1998+ by Sean M.
