MPEG::ID3v2Tag is a Perl module that parses and creates ID3v2 Tags for MPEG audio files.

SYNOPSIS

use MPEG::ID3v2Tag ;
use IO::File ;

# create a tag
$tag = MPEG::ID3v2Tag->new() ;
$tag->add_frame("TIT2", "Happy Little Song") ; # one step
$frame = MPEG::ID3Frame::TALB->new("Happy little album") ;
$tag->add_frame($frame) ; # two steps
$tag->add_frame("WCOM", "http://www.mp3.com") ;
$tag->add_frame("APIC", -picture_type => 0, -file => "happy_little_song.gif");
.....
$tag->set_padding_size(256) ;
print OUTFILE $tag->as_string() ;

# read a tag from a file and dump out some data.
$fh = IO::File->new(" binmode $fh;
$tag = MPEG::ID3v2Tag->parse($fh) ;
foreach $frame ($tag->frames()) {
print $frame->frameid(), "n" ; # prints TALB, TIT2, WCOM, etc.
if ($frame->flag_read_only()) {
print " read onlyn" ;
}
if ($frame->fully_parsed() && $frame->frameid =~ /^T.../) {
print " frame text is ", $frame->text(), "n" ;
}
if ($frame->fully_parsed() && $frame->frameid =~ /^W.../) {
print " url is ", $frame->url(), "n" ;
}
}

MPEG::ID3v2Tag is a class capable of parsing and creating ID3v2 revision 3 tags. While not all frames are fully supported, its easy to add support for more.
The object doesnt (currently) support modification of .mp3 files; the caller has to handle the mechanics of prepending the tag to the file.

The system can be used in the electronic world to keep track of your: Schematic, Printed Circuit Board, Front Plate, Programmable Logic Device numbers.
EDA index is programmed in PHP (and XHTML 1.0), using a MySQL database to store data, so its more or less OS independent, but a Linux server is recommended, since it already got most software installed as default, this configuration is also called LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)
Its also recommended that a local intranet server is used, since the system dont got a user login, so all data can be viewed without a password, but when you need to add or edit data a password is required. At first this approach might seem wierd, but its designed to allow quick lookups. Example:
You are sitting with a broken pcb with a number on it, and need to find the schematic (so you can repair it) on the computer or in the printed project (schematic) archive. EDA Index allow an quick lookup in the database, without you needing to login, so you get the job done faster.
As far as I know, there are no commercial (or free) program available that can do what EDA Index can, some companies may have created their own software, but how do that help you.
I have worked in an electronic department that had a self made application, but it lagged features like search.
This program is very usefull, if you are using numbers when:
Drawing electronic Schematics and PCBs using a CAD program like: Eagle, gEDA, Protel, Orcad, etc.
Creating Front Plate layouts in: GIMP, Coral Draw, Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc.
Programming Programmable Logic Devices like: PLD, EPLD, CPLD, PIC, APIC, PEEL, PAL, GAL, FPGA, Intel 80XX, Motorola 68XX, etc. Writing the code in: VHDL, Assambler, JEDEC, etc.
Enhancements:
- Included the bugfix to RC2.
- Updated online documentation.
- Updated INSTALL file.
