Win32API::Joystick $VERSION = 1.01, 22 June 2000 Hey! Win32API::Joystick only works if you're running windows (duh!). I plan to make a Device::Joystick in the near future which will work for Unix-like OSs. The module will allow you to get x,y,z and button status of joystick devices via Windows API calls. In the next release I will include the methods to get extended joystick information, which includes POV status and joysticks with more than 3 axes. This release is for Win32 ports of Perl only, and does not require compilation. (See install) These modules use Aldo Calpini's Win32::API module extensively. It is available at: http://www.divinf.it/dada/perl/Win32API-0_011.zip To install: perl Makefile.pl perl install.pl perl test.pl The makefile.pl does not actually write a makefile ... it creates install.pl that copies the modules to the correct site directories/destination directories. To install you must have the Win32 module installed. Makefile.pl will also create test.pl and install.pl. If this method doesn't work for you, just copy Joystick.pm to site/lib/Win32API/Joystick.pm You can find this module and updates at CPAN in author directory BDLILLEY. If you have any comments, questions, or additions please contact me at blilley@hpu.edu Thanks! -Ben
