$daap = Net::DAAP::Client->new(SERVER_HOST => $hostname,
SERVER_PORT => $portnum,
PASSWORD => $password);
$dsn = $daap->connect;

$dbs_hash = $daap->databases;
$current_db = $daap->db;
$daap_db($new_db_id);

$songs_hash = $daap->songs;

$binary_audio_data = $obj->get($song_id);
$binary_audio_data = $obj->get(@song_ids);
$song_id = $obj->save($dir, $song_id);

warn $daap->error; # returns error string
}

Net::DAAP::Client provides objects representing connections to DAAP servers. You can fetch databases, playlists, and songs. This module was written based on a reverse engineering of Apples iTunes 4 sharing implementation. As a result, features that iTunes 4 doesnt support (browsing, searching) arent supported here.

Each connection object has a destructor, so that you can forget to disconnect without leaving the server expecting you to call back.

WARNING

If you store your object in a global variable, Perl cant seem to disconnect gracefully from the server. Until I figure out why, always store your object in a lexical (my) variable.
