I went looking for your code a week or two ago and couldn't find your 
library on github any more. Merging the codebases sounds sensible though.

Although I haven't been trying to clone the bonescript/arduino language, 
so I have a more OO approach.

ie. the arduino-style way would be:

   setPin(13, DIGITAL);
   digitalWrite(13, HIGH);

and my Perlish way is:

   my $pin = BeagleBone::Pins->new('P9_13');
   $pin->digitalWrite(1);

(my code automatically sets the appropriate mode the first time you
call a read/write/etc function on the pin)
