Controlling iTunes with Perl 47
EccentricAnomaly writes "brian d foy has created perl modules for controlling iTunes. His modules, Mac::iTunes and Apache::iTunes, can be found on the CPAN. Now perl mongers can run iTunes remotely via the command line or via a web interface on a Mac hooked-up to a nice stereo to use as a home or office jukebox. I shudder to think what else may be possible now that iTunes is in perl's clutches."

Check my gallery site [no-ip.org] that lets visitors also spy on my currently playing song, etc. I use PHP and MySQL to manage a Mac and Linux (2 box combo) image database. Just for fun, PHP, along w/AppleScript, pulls data from iTunes, while it supports image serving, uploading, resizing, etc. Ho Ho Ho

If this is the same code that was discussed over at O'Reilly [macdevcenter.com] you need to start tweaking how Apache or other things run.
There was a discussion of this over at MacNN Forums as well [macnn.com].

Both links I provided discussed this in depth.
I was curious if the Perl scripts mentioned were simply calling the same Applescripts and how they dealt with these issues. My sense was that they were variations on the similar Perl code discussed at the MacDev page at O'Reilly.
Capiche?
