Description

Lirc-Perl is my attempt at making my computer a remote control. I wrote it in Perl because it is more portable. If there are remote control projects for other operating systems then the code can easily be used elsewhere. I also like the simplicity of Perl/Tk over C using GTK or Perl. Lirc has a software package that does the same thing written for GTK. Unfortunately it never worked on my system because I had a newer version of GTK. So, I did it in Perl.

Requirements

Setup

First lirc must be installed correctly and their lircd daemon must be running. Follow the documentation provided to do this. This also means that your IR Transmitter is working.

Second, being that lirc-perl is an extension of lircd, then you must have remote controls defined and working. You can use the command line tool to test this.

Next, build an lirc-perl config file, and install lirc-perl somewhere in your path.

Then use it
