I needed a quick way to randomly turn the sound on and off for a game of pass the parcel...
use strict;
use Win32::Sound;
# the params are the lower and upper range -
#i.e. what is the least and most possible seconds for either the music
+/silence stage?
my $min = $ARGV[0];
my $max = $ARGV[1];
my $sound = Win32::Sound::Volume();
while(1){
sleep int((rand($max-$min)+0.5)+$min);
Win32::Sound::Volume() ? (Win32::Sound::Volume(0)) : (Win32::Sound::
+Volume($sound));
}
__END__
4, 9 seem okay params
map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2*$d*$e+$a,$e**2
-$d**2+$b);$c=$d**2+$e**2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20
