in reply to Bitcoin in perl

Perhaps you could explain how yours compares with and differs from other Bitcoin libraries and scripts such as Finance::Bitcoin, https://github.com/plaprade/bitcoin-perl and https://github.com/mtve/bitcoin-pl?

    I knew only the first one you're mentionning.

    Finance::Bitcoin iirc is an API to the main server bitcoind daemon.

    The second one seems only about scripting.

    The third one seems to be much closer to what I attemtped. I didn't know about it and I should check it out.

    Yes, I should have looked for existing stuff before posting. Sorry.

      Competing libraries can be a good thing. The secret to success is to make your own do something that the others doesn't, to do the same things better or with a superior interface. :)

      I'm its author, and yes, that's exactly what it is.
