Device::SCSI::CDROM - Perl module to control SCSI CD-ROM devices

NAME

Device::SCSI::CDROM - Perl module to control SCSI CD-ROM devices

SYNOPSIS

 use Device::SCSI::CDROM;
 # use the same way as Device::SCSI but with extra methods.

DESCRIPTION

This is an incomplete package that may ultimately provide device-specific support for CD-ROM and other read-only units. The API is poor and may change at any time.

disc_info
 my($first, $last)=$device->disc_info;

This returns the track numbers of the first and last track on the CD inserted in the drive.

toc
 my $tracks=$device->toc;
 my $first=$tracks->{FIRST};
 my $last=$tracks->{LAST};
 foreach my $track ($first..$last, 'CD') {
   my $trackstart=$tracks->{$track}{START};
   my $trackend=$tracks->{$track}{FINISH};
   # use these values
 }

This reads the Table Of Contents on the CD, and returns a hashref containing information on all thr tracks on the CD. The keys are:

FIRST
The number of the first track on the CD.

LAST
The number of the last track on the CD.

CD
A hashref with keys START and FINISH mapping to the block numbers of the start and end of the CD.

(Numbers 1 ... 99)
A hashref with keys START and FINISH mapping to the block numbers of the start and end of the track with the same number as the key.
