Hello again.

I only code because of the journey. I would say that, in the last 20 years, there has not been a single piece I am proud of. However, I generally manage to hack a workable solution, and the achievement is usually enough.

The end result is fairly well planned - as is the sql to get it there.

    my %album     = (
      name        => "Collection Name",
      upc_ean     => "123456789012",
      disc        => [{
        title     => "CD 1",
        disc_id   => "12345",
        track     => [{
          title   => "Track 1 title",
          isrc    => "aa-aaa-13-12345"
        }]
      }],
    );

This summarises the structure well enough. Add in sections of CD-Text where appropriate. Few are mandatory, as far as I am concerned.

My current reading centres on either Marpa, Parse::RecDescent or Regexp::Grammars. I suspect one of these will do what I am looking for...

I'll update later, when I have something cobbled together...
