my $dirbase = shift;
my $urlbase = shift;

ABSTRACT

Create podcast easily from directories, using MP3s own info.

Creates a podcast, basically a RSS feed for a directory full of MP3 files. Takes information from the MP3 files themselves; it needs MP3 files with their ID tags completed.

The bundle includes two programs in the C< examples > dir: C< gen-podcast.pl >, used this way:

bash% ./gen-podcast.pl < dirbase > < urlbase > < dir to scan > that generates a static RSS from a dir, and C< podcast.cgi >, to use from a webserver. To use it, copy podcast.cgi and podcast.conf to a cgi-serviceable dir; edit podcast.conf to your liking and copy it to the directory you want. Copy also .podcast to the directory you want served as a podcast (this is done mainly to avoid dir-creeping), and also drop edit also the path to fetch the MP3::Podcast lib, and call it with C< http://my.host.com/cgi-bin/podcast.cgi/< dirname >.rss

The name of the directory to scan will be taken from the URI.
