Hey all...

I know this has been asked before, because Yahoo! indexed the page. Unfortunately, I'm damned if I can find the post itself, so I'm limited to seeing the first line on Yahoo!'s results page. Gah.

Anyway... I'm attempting to read CD Audio tracks via perl.. essentially, building a CD ripper in Perl so I can manipulate audio. In order to actually read the CD Audio tracks, because a 'conventional' file system read won't work, I'm trying to use a C library's functions (http://akrip.sourceforge.net/) through Perl.

I'm new at this - so if there's an easier way by all means point it out :) - but I decided to go down the XS route so I can eventually release it to CPAN (since it's probably something someone's wanted to do at some point before now).

I seem to be making progress... except that now something called cl is being looked for (below).. and I have no clue a) what it is, or b) where to get it.

cl -c -nologo -O1 -MD -DNDEBUG -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -O1 -MD -DNDEBUG -DVERSION=\"0.01\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.01\" -F:\Perl\lib\CORE CDAUDIO.c
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
dmake.exe: Error code 1, while making 'CDAUDIO.obj'

Anyone help with an explanation of what it's looking for?

Cheers,

Kev
