Why is this not integrated with the ID3v1 modules Sander made? Are the
differences between ID3v1 and ID3v2 so big that it's not feasible?

Yeap.

Good.

p.s. Does IPC::ShareLite work on Win32?

Perhaps.  How would a user specify the callback procedures with a TIEHASH
interface?  Special keys, maybe?

> p.s. Does IPC::ShareLite work on Win32?

Not that I know of, unless Win32 has a SysV IPC system I don't know
about.  Does GNUWin32 provide this perhaps?

Thanks for the quick response!

Yes.

id3v1:
128 bytes that live at the end of a file, with a very rigid format
You can make a C struct representing a complete id3v1 tag.

id3v2:
arbitrarily large, lives at the beginning of a file, constructed of
a series of frames, each of which has its own format specification,
some of which are also arbitrarily large.  The whole thing is versioned 
and extensible with more frames.  There are currently at least three
frames dedicated to describing the title of a recording.  Frames for
lyrics synchronized with the recording, frames for pictures of the band,
...

While anything is possible in software, and you could conceivably 
squash them both into the same module, they are more useful and
flexible apart than together.  They are both well-behaved and
can be use-d in the same program without ill effect.

Btw., sander and I sit in the same cubicle, and we did certainly
discuss it.

PAUSE registration

[Steven Knight]

I'd like to register as a PAUSE developer.  Here's the relevant info,
per 04pause.html:

Name:
Steven Knight

Email:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Page:
http://www.baldmt.com/~knight/

Preferred CPAN User-ID:
KNIGHT

What I'm planning to contribute:
A Test::Cmd module that provides a portable interface
to testing commands or scripts (not just Perl commands
or scripts).  This includes portable management and
cleanup of one or more temporary working directories,
and portable file name manipulation inherited from the
File::Spec module.  This module can be used in conjunction
with the existing Test module to produce output suitable
for the Test::Harness module.

I will also pick up PAUSE upload duties for the Cons
software construction utility, previously handled by
Bob Sidebotham (BOBSIDE).  (Bob last uploaded version
1.5 in December 1998, and Cons is up to version 1.7 now.)

Module list format description:
Test::Cmd   adpO Portable test infrastructure for commands  KNIGHT

Where discussed:
Posting to comp.lang.perl.modules.
(I received no responses, but at least there
were no objections to the choice of name...)

Private email discussion with Cons developers.
(Received endorsement from Bob Sidebothm to
assume his upload responsibilities for Cons.
Worked with other developers on the Test::Cmd
interface.)

The aegis-users mailing list.
(Some of the Test::Cmd module's ideas originated
with Aegis' testing model.)

I'm open to alternate suggestions if Test::Cmd is not a good choice for
the module name.

Thanks.
