Package: kdebindings Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Hello! If saw in the changelog that some time ago support for the Perl bindings was dropped - due to the immaturity of the code from what I gather. I have experimented with the bindings and they work fine for a basic use at least. I played around with the debian/* files and discovered that the bulk of the bits necessary to build the Perl bindings was still in place so I produced a patch (attached) which is not very intrusive at all. I am also attaching an example Perl script which allows you to display the name of the track currently being played by Amarok to tests the .debs produced by the patch. Hope you get round to taking a look at the patch!
