I have released a new UPnP package for Perl developers with the useful sample of Vodcasting for DLNA Media Servers.

CyberLink for Perl : The package is a development package for UPnP developers. It controls some UPnP protocols automatically, and supports to create your control points quickly.

To get the package, please check the following site.

CPAN : http://search.cpan.org (skonno - UPnP)
SourceForge.net : http://sourceforge.net/projects/clinkperl

Please check the project of SourceForge.net too because the package of CPAN includes only the document of Pod format.

The current version provides only the minimum functions of the control point, I will might support functions of UPnP devices in the future.

UPnP::AV::MediaServer : The package includes a utility package, UPnP::AV::MediaServer for DLNA media server. I added some examples for the package such as printing all contents in the all media server in the local network.

Vodcasting for DLNA Media Servers : The package includes a vodcast example, dms2vodcast.pl, using UPnP::AV::MediaServer. The example finds all DLNA media servers such as Sony's Cocoon and Toshiba's RD-X6 in the local network, converts the MPEG2 movies to the MPEG4 one, and outputs the RSS file for Vodcast.

Using the example, I can transfer my favorite content in the my DLNA server such as Sony's Cocoon to my iPod easily every day :-)

To transfer the MPEG4 contents, use PSP Manager or for Sony's PSP, and use iTunes for Apple's iPod.
