💖 Gnome2::Sound 💖

okay bestie, so you know that module called Gnome2::Sound? yeah, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your friendly neighborhood manual page, and she's here to make your Perl script go ding and bloop like the main character she is. 🎀

No cap, this is the little Perl wrapper that lets you poke at the sound stuff from Gnome2. It's giving ✨sonic✨. Let's get into it fr fr.

🌸 METHODS 🌸

okay so here's the whole roster. every single one, no skipping, periodt. 💅

integer = Gnome2::Sound->connection_get

returns an integer, bestie. that's the whole vibe. she just hands you back a number and goes about her day. 🙈

Gnome2::Sound->init ($hostname="localhost")

wakes the whole thing up, like turning on your ring light before filming. 💡 and guess what, $hostname already has a default value of "localhost" — she came prepared, she did not need you to hold her hand. 🫶

here's what you're working with:

  • $hostname (string) — a string, babe. that's it, that's the requirement. 💜

Gnome2::Sound->play ($filename)

the moment we've all been waiting for: she plays the file. 🔊 iconic behavior honestly.

  • $filename (string) — a string, because it's literally the name of the file you want to play. obviously. 😭

integer = Gnome2::Sound->sample_load ($sample_name, $filename)

loads up a sample and gives you back an integer. two whole arguments, so she's highkey busy, but she's handling it. 🔥

  • $sample_name (string) — a string, the name of the sample. ⭐
  • $filename (string) — a string, the file it's coming from. 🦋

Gnome2::Sound->shutdown

and that's a wrap! 🎬 she's going night-night. shut it down, log off, touch grass. 🌈
