Bitcoin has reignited my interest in scripting but I cannot seem to find any basic tutorials for client scripting with Perl.
I did find the modules on CPAN but am a little confused on how to use them. I get the impression that these require the bitcoin client to be running and the blockchain downloaded on my own machine?
Is there a way to check balances of addresses, generate private keys and broadcast raw transactions without using something like the Blockchain.info API? Do I have to interact with these service wallets or can I use bitcoin at a slightly lower level with Perl? What hosts to connect to if not running a bitcoin instance locally?
I'm a little confused and being pointed in the right direction or any basic examples would be greatly appreciated thanks!
