Once I wrote a Perl-based libusb interface for use with MTP using Inline::C. I was working on using Perl to make a desktop app which managed podcasts on an MTP device.

The driver worked fantastically, but ironically the Qt bindings for Perl weren’t thread-safe. This meant I couldn’t stop the UI from locking up every time I made a network request, so I didn’t release it because the experience was terrible.

I did use the MTP module for a while, and at one point I used it to make a little CLI app for this USB dart turret.
