Holy mother of perl, that's a slick program. I just installed it (against
my better judgement; got lots of other stuff to do before the meeting
tonight!)
It seems to work out-of-the-box on debian / perl 5.6.4 / Storable 2.12.
I grepped through the code for references to Storable, and it seems that
if Storable isn't installed, it should still work. I got that from:
Slim/Music/Info.pm
So, you could try renaming or removing Storable and see if you get
further. Or, edit Slim/Music/Info.pm and replace the line:
if (defined @Storable::EXPORT)
with something like:
if (0)
Hope that helps. I think you'll like SlimServer once you get it running
<:-P
