It installed and ran the test without problems. This was good as my xmms was
broken since, well since I upgraded perl and Mandrake went bersek. I took
the time to reinstall it and except the instability of the visualization
plugins it works fine. which also gave me the opportunity to test with some
real cool jazz. The only problem is that it's so good you stop the
programming to listen :-)

Bud Powell Trio - Night In Tunisia.mp3
Al Jarreau - Agua De Beber
Cidade Vazia - Milton Banana Trio
Jimmy Smith - Messy Bessie 

A silly question. Why a module to control an application that can run
separately and has a GUI?

If someone knows of a good POE/Curses example, please let me know.
