Drivel & Updated install.sh

Ive been rather busy with a new job, loving it to :)

I have also written another perl app that I will release when I cbf (media playing related). The app also needs some fine tuning yet.

Ubuntu dist upgrade to intrepid fucking ruined my pc. By ruined I mean, the yanking of binary legacy nvidia drivers. My main pc has been faithfully acting in its second roll as media pc. I run a matrox g550 for the desktop and my trusty old ASUS Nvidia TNT2 Ulta (reow). Needless to say, I was pissed - I had encountered the issue previously and managed to resolve it with a custom kernel compile. Not this time though, spent far to long trying everything else but a reinstall.
Having spent far to long avoiding a reinstall, i did it. Then noticed today my install.sh for namefix.pl was not correct. After fixing the stupid stuff I noticed that force install for cpan was no longer working (did it ever work ?). So I googled around, and found this great thread below with a guru giving out his fix.

The updated install.sh

echo installing modules

sudo perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install Tk));"
sudo perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install Tk::JComboBox));"
sudo perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install Tk::DynaTabFrame));"
sudo perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install Tk::JComboBox));"

echo install script

sudo chmod a+x ./namefix.pl
sudo rm /usr/bin/namefix.pl
sudo ln ./namefix.pl /usr/bin/namefix.pl

This has been corrected in my private wip version and will be included in the next release.

namefix.pl perl module install guide

For all users running namefix.pl as a perl script (ie unix & osx) who encounter dependency issues try running these commands:

perl -MCPAN -we 'install "MP3::Tag"'
perl -MCPAN -we 'install "Tk"'
perl -MCPAN -we 'install "Tk::DynaTabFrame"'

Should these commands fail (Tk insists on passing all its tests, for namefix.pl 90% pass is more than enough most times) try force installing the modules:

perl -MCPAN -we 'force install "MP3::Tag"'
perl -MCPAN -we 'force install "Tk"'
perl -MCPAN -we 'force install "Tk::DynaTabFrame"'

On other news, I am slowly working on the namefix.pl cmd line options, if anyone has a copy of the old 2.0 cmd line version please email me. Please feel free to help with the options, Im still deciding on what letters will = what functions.

The initial cmd line version with use the following syntax:

namefix.pl -[options] [file/directory]

much like the original 1.0 and 2.0 versions, but once that has been sorted I will do a proper unix style namefix.pl:

namefix.pl -r --sp:spaces --case [file/directory]

This will come once Im happy with the cmd line code.
