++ichimunki for reminding me just how cool open-source software can be! One of the things that's cool about the monastery is that I find out about different open source projects that I wouldn't have found myself but which are interesting to read about, even if I don't end up installing the software.

This is actually something that I might be able to use in the near future, though: I'm getting married in late June, and my fianceé and I are thinking about having some music at the banquet - but we're too cheap to spring for a living DJ. It looks like with a little work, we can set up my Linux laptop to do the DJing for us! Looks like a good evening/weekend project for my near future...

I'll be sure to let you know if we really do this: your code looks like a great starter for what we'd need! Thanks for the post - this really is a cool use for Perl.
