Qtrax Really Blows Its Launch

I agree with this post from TechCrunch. What a bad launch. I saw all kinds of Oracle server pages. One time I even got a site just Like you get when you first install Apache.

It seems we need a converter for this DRM from Qtrax to get the music on a MP3 player. Because 2008 is the year DRM will die I think this service has to disable the DRM themselves at the end of this year to stay in business. For now lets wait for the DRM player to come online.

Rflatten.pm

Today I wrote a module that I like to use eventually for sending complex data structures with a simple html POST form. Because POST is only Key/Value a flat hash seems to be the way to go. The module now converts:

$VAR1 = [
          'ccc',
          'ddd'
        ];

into this hash:

$VAR1 = {
          ':0' => 'ccc',
          ':1' => 'ddd'
        };

The module knows “:” is an Array element. “.” is used as a hash key. This complex structure:

$VAR1 = {
          'qqqqqq' => [
                        'ccc',
                        {
                          'vvvvv' => 'ddd'
                        }
                      ]
        };

It will convert to:

$VAR1 = {
          '.qqqqqq:0' => 'ccc',
          '.qqqqqq:1.vvvvv' => 'ddd'
        };

The key “qqqqqq” is written in the second key as well. This enables me to create any structure. OK this works but how do you specify a simple Scalar value? I choose this:

 $VAR1 = \'cccc';

converts to:

$VAR1 = {
          'SCALAR' => 'cccc'
        };

‘SCALAR’ can be any word as long as it does not contain “:” or “.”. I hope to get a http POST example online soon for you all to see and checkout.
