| kcbanner | wolverian, I dont think there is one actually thanks |
| wolverian | *poke* is this thing on? |
| rvalles | different prototypes for a single function sounds weird enough |
| wolverian | kcbanner, okay, good :) you're welcome. |

| Teal_Stallion | how can you open/close the cd-rom drive with perl |
| wolverian | `eject` :) |
| Teal_Stallion | i mean without using shell commands |
| rickest | eject -t |
| Teal_Stallion | also rickest im on win32 bleh :( |
| Randal | perlbot, im > Teal_Stallion |
| Teal_Stallion | omg... I'm :D |
| rickest | Teal_Stallion: no idea |
| Randal | open/close cd-rom is a pretty O/S specific thing you said you're on win32? you should look at the activestate docs for something unique to AS perl |
| wolverian | Teal_Stallion, http://search.cpan.org/src/MIYAGAWA/Plagger-0.7.17/lib/Plagger/Plugin/Notify/Eject/mswin32.pm you can figure it out from there too, if you're in a hurry. |
| shorten | wolverian's url is at http://xrl.us/vdun |
| Randal | since I'm not running windows, I can't help. :) |
| jpeg | by the way, Teal_Stallion, what are you doing? |
| Teal_Stallion | jsut trying to open/close |
| jpeg | Teal_Stallion: I understood that part, but thanks. I was asking what was the context of opening/closing. |
| Randal | yeah, why should Perl control that? |
| jpeg | I'm not trying to be confrontational. I just can't think of a project where I'd want to use that, and was curious. |
| Randal | my laptop doesn't really have a "close" either. :) just open maybe he's trying to remotely control the coffee cup holder. :) |
| jpeg | and "it's just a silly gee-whiz look-what-i-can-do project" would be a perfectly good answer. I was just curious. ok then... |
| rickest | when I work from home I run a script that randomly opens/shuts my cddrive at work just to remind them I'm watching lol |
| Randal | Teal_Stallion joins the ranks of the people who ask questions then turn away, as if this was a help desk. nobody seems to have manners any more |
