Hi, all -- ...and then David T-G said... % ... % I have perl, the camel book, and a keyboard :-) I'll surf around on % CPAN, but can anyone point me to some good places to look to learn about % this sort of thing?
Thanks for the many and varied suggestions, and I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. While I *do* need to learn about database structure and so on, I already have mysql both at my server and on my laptop and can play with that stuff later; a big step will be just talking to any data file I might have (like all of my .m3u files, as well as perhaps the MP3s themselves if I pull out id3v* data directly) and working the metadata around in perl in preparation for stuffing it into a database (and, we hope, getting it out someday). It sounds like DBI is what I want, so I'll start there. Thanks again! Those of you who offerred help, watch out; I may take you up on it ;-) HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
