I will be interested in seeing how this works. Since Perl is my favorite, I was just thinking today about something like "mod_perl" for Apache, but for PD-- a persistent Perl program which PD can pass of certain tasks to. Things like complex data structures (associative arrays, or multi-dimensional arrays) and regular expression parsing I find is so much easier in Perl (but I'm only about 1.5 years into PD, so there are likely many cool tricks I haven't learned yet). I'm thinking about implementing my Chord Library gizmo in Perl, but I don't want to pay for the overhead of invoking the Perl compiler with each [shell]. For now, I'm considering just starting my Perl agent as a daemon, and communicating to PD via local sockets... > -------- > Dan Wilcox > @danomatika > danomatika.com > robotcowboy.com > > On Dec 7, 2015, at 2:23 PM, [email protected] wrote: > From: Lorenzo Sutton <[email protected]> > Date: December 7, 2015 at 2:23:40 PM MST > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [PD] get filenames from directory > > > On 07/12/15 17:26, Jonathan Wilkes via Pd-list wrote: > > It's not possible with Vanilla objects. > > In 2016 it would really be nice for Pd *Vanilla* to allow *natively* the use of some scripting language.
