in reply to Experiment Generation in perl

Software used to generate experiments? :> There are alot of programs specifically marketed as tools for creating experiments. (two popular packages are eprime http://www.pstnet.com/eprime and psyscope http://psyscope.psy.cmu.edu. But because each company targets people doing a particular type of experiment, they are gernally inconvenient.

I don't know if other people are using perl, but I would like to try. The available tools handle GUI and timing issues well, but everything else poorly. All I am trying to do at this point is:
  • Display text (and be able to control font face/size/color/position)
  • Play audio (and be able to control playback)
  • guarentee reasonably accurate timing

    I originally imagined a "dos like" mode, but I will give Tk, Win32::GUI, SDL a try. Thanks for your help guys.
