Hi again stevieb. It sounds like you have the start of an O'Reilly book on the PerlPi. :-) One thing I noticed was the number of dependencies for installing all the prerequisite modules for installing the RPi-WiringPi module.
Additionally cpan didn't want to install automatically. When I try "cpan install RPi-WiringPi" it returns without finding the module. You need to use "cpan install RPi::WiringPi", and even then a bunch of errors are generated in the cpan tests regarding an unknown error in installing WiringPi::API . It would be nice if you made a Bundle:RPi or something similar. I finally read that you need to install WiringPi C lib first, before installing WiringPi::API. Then I also needed to manually install RPi-Pin-2.3603. Other than those glitches, it all installed fine. My next project is driving a 64x32 led display. :-) I think you ought to look for a publisher. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. ..... an animated JAPH
