Modules for MIDI (Sysex) Recording

Hi,
Is there a Perl module that can receive arbitrary MIDI data from a Windows =

MIDI input device? I'd like to communicate with a synth using sysex =

messages. Win32::MIDI can send out MIDI data but cannot yet receive any. =

Neither can you use MCI to record from a MIDI device, so Win32::MCI-basic i=
s =

out as well. So far, I've only used PPM3 to look for Win32 MIDI modules.

If all else fails, are there miniature command-line apps that spew out the =

received MIDi data to STDOUT? I've seen a number of GUI-based sysex =

utilities, like MIDi OX, but they usually don't read from STDIN. I might be =

able to write out a syx file and send that but the I/O overhead is probably =

very big, if the messages to be send are just a handful of bytes each e.g. =

identity request and response.

Any help appreciated.
