perl is what got me back into programming 2 years & a half ago.  it's a 
tricky & inspirational language.  i haven't done anything music-related 
with it though (well, yes, building CD catalogues but that's another kind 
of related. :)

i suppose doing something like open(F,'>/dev/audio') implies that you're on 
a linux/unix box though, right?  how can one access the sound card on a PC 
or mac platform?  or would it be simpler to write directly to a WAV file?

.... not that i would know WHAT to write to that file...  hrm, maybe i 
should stick to fruityloops & audiomulch after all.
