This is way cool. It took me nearly an hour to compile the festival stuff, but amazingly it worked without much of any hacking.
I added a little subroutine to pull in playlists from .m3u files (which are basically lists of paths to files). Here's the idea...
my @playlist;
if ($ARGV[0] =~ /\.m3u$/i) {
@playlist = fill_playlist($ARGV[0]);
} elsif( @ARGV ) {
@playlist = @ARGV;
} else {
say_error( "No playlist given. Please select some songs for me to p
+lay!" );
}
sub fill_playlist {
my $playlist = shift;
my @return;
if (-r $playlist) {
open(LIST,"<$playlist") or die "couldn't open $playlist: $!";
while(<LIST>) {
next if /^#/;
chomp;
push @return, $_;
}
close(LIST);
} else {
say_error( "There was a problem accessing this playlist. Pleas
+e select some songs for me to play!" );
exit;
}
return @return;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
