Thanks for the address! It looks nice.

Buffer

"First of all one desirable feature would be to also store the incoming data into a file as well as passing it along to the handler..."

If a stream is like the real stream or little river, then a buffer should be like a pond or little lake.

If you get large chunks of data and you dossify the constant output of it, you have a buffer...

Perhaps, just by reading from the recorded file, instead of piping, it might work as a buffer.

As the author says, it is like the 'look ahead' of car's cd players.

How could you do this? Well, you'ld better try and you'ld learn a lot in the meantime. After that, instead of using your small experience, I bet that you would be able to find a good buffering .PM at cpan.

But, remember that most mp3 applications, have their own buffer. Like Winamp, that you can tune up at the config. Read about it, also. I remember reading that it works better with a small buffer (measured in seconds).

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
