in reply to Rain - Musical Composition written with Perl

Hi, I don't want to sound dumb, but how do you actually use this to listen? I'm using the Rain.pl and it runs, with some errors, and produces a Rain.sco file. What do I do with the Rain.sco? The error is : Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at /home/zentara/perl5lib/ComputerMusic.pm line 66.

    The entire process works in three stages:

    Perl -> Csound -> Soundfile

    Perl is the top level in this chain. It's where I compose the piece. Rain.pl generates Rain.sco. Csound is a synthesis language. Csound takes Rain.sco and Rain.orc and generates a soundfile.

    As for the errors, I'm not getting those on my machine. But I take full responsibility for anything broken in my code. :)

      Nothing broken here, the message is just a warning, not an error. The reason it does not occur on your machine might be that you're using differnt perl builds.

      So long,
