how to install/use MP3::Tag in Windows environment?
am 07.02.2007 00:57:53 von Ozmodiarahoy:
i am working on a project in Windows XP where i must read MP3 file ID3v2
information (particularly long (>30 char) Artist and Title)
(This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
i was able to install and use MP3::Info, by downloading the source to
mp3-info.ppm and doing
C:\Perl> ppm install mp3-info
i could access this from my perl code and it seemed to work as advertised,
but this module does not let me get at the long artist/title information.
it looks like the module i really want is MP3::Tag
http://search.cpan.org/~ilyaz/MP3-Tag-0.9709/Tag.pm
i'm not a windows/perl heavy and don't understand how to go from the
downloadable
modules/MP3-Tag-0.9709.tar.gz
file, to getting this installed from DOS command prompt (C:\Perl>)
i used Stuffit to extract the contents into my Perl dir
then did
C:\Perl> perl Makefile.pl
(got back:
Writing Makefile for MP3::Tag
Writing Makefile for MP3::Tag
)
then i did
C:\Perl> ppm install Tag
(got back:
Error: 'Tag' not found. Please 'search' for it first.
)
Tag.pm is in my working dir, as are folders: /examples, /Tag, /tk-tag
don't know why "not found" (or what i'm really doing).
can anyone baby-talk me through this?
thanks very much,
