Controlling iTunes with Perl
EccentricAnomaly writes "brian d foy has created perl modules for controlling iTunes. His modules, Mac::iTunes and Apache::iTunes, can be found on the CPAN. Now perl mongers can run iTunes remotely via the command line or via a web interface on a Mac hooked-up to a nice stereo to use as a home or office jukebox. I shudder to think what else may be possible now that iTunes is in perl's clutches."

That's it, AC, lie to your bosses. What are you, 10? Moron.
This is exactly why I have all but given up on taking most Linux users seriously. It seems like the Linux world is now dominated by people who

OH, shut up. You're an idiot. What a clueless flamebait. The point of free software is that it's distributed. The work is spread out. Many hands make light work, and many eyes make all bugs shallow. I contribute, but not to the GUI. What do you do? Oh, that's right. You're an Anonymous gutless Slashdot troll. Roll over and die, puke.
HTH. HAND.
