It's really nothing special but I thought I'd post about it as Perl Dancer really ended up being a joy to work with. I've heard so much about Node.js and played around with it for awhile but for some reason I just felt like I was fighting with it the whole time (probably my lack of experience with JavaScript more than anything). In contrast, Perl Dancer turned out to be really easy for me to understand.
Could you explain the project in a bit more detail? Right now I'm not 100% sure what it does.
Basically I'm confused because I can't relate to the problem. I've never needed to ssh into a server to play an internet radio station. What kind of a media setup do you have to build to reach that problem?
I don't really have much of a media setup actually. I have my laptop and a phone I use to listen to music a lot but the server just happens to be in a central, permanent location and can therefore just be left plugged into some speakers. The SSHing only began recently when it occurred to me I could use server as a jukebox of sorts and for a few weeks I was just running a ssh session on my phone to play stations.
The project itself is really just a simple front end to mplayer and a sqlite database to store station info. A large part of the reason I made this was just to have something to work on (as I'm trying to do some programming every day).
