• Description: mpd-osd is a simple OSD client that displays song/volume changes and seeks using an XOsd overlay
• Requires: MPD.pm and X::Osd
• Homepage: http://home.sus.mcgill.ca/~mstoll/pub/mpd-osd/
• Maintainer: mstoll

Note: MPD [from musicpd.org] is also Audio::MPD [from CPAN]. The latter one has inline documentation, so it might be a better choice for developers. It case you choose it, remember to change lines 7 and 10 from:

require ( 'MPD.pm' );
...
my $mpd = MPD->new()

to:

require ( 'Audio/MPD.pm' );
...
my $mpd = Audio::MPD->new(); #  syntax is: Audio::MPD->new( [[$password@]$host], [$port] )
