Vorbis - Jul 2001 - Perl wrapper for libvorbisfile or stuff

Hey guys,

I wrote to this list previously, saying I needed a perl module to do
Ogg Vorbis tag reading / writing. People pretty much pointed me to the
Ogg::Vorbis module that wrapped around libvorbisfile and I should
extend that to writing streams, not only reading them. Well, awright,
I thought, let's do it. Problem is, though: The download links on
freshmeat are all broken and I don't know where to find this library.
Does anyone, please, still have this laying around, or even better,
give me some smart way how I can do this without hardcore hacking
('cuz I don't know A THING about wrapping C functions and stuff).
Maybe somebody wants to do this for me 'cuz you don't have anything
else to do? Well, just a try ...

Thanks a lot.

P.S.: I'm now subscribed to this list. Geez, cool, heh? It just means
I'm receiving over 100 mails a day. Just from mailing lists. That
SUCKS.

you can always try CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network), though i'm
not sure it's the most up-to-date version.

It's in cpan.  And the new page is http://synthcode.com/code/vorbis/.

If you don't anything about wrapping C functions, you may want to
avoid XS like the plague :) It might be more worthwhile redoing the
wrapper in SWIG (which would be two steps in the direction of wrapping
vorbis for every language SWIG supports), or check out Inline::C,
which is *very* easy to work with.

That's what procmail is for (and why I'm first reading this 3 days
after it was posted ;)
