You can read the CheerLights color from Perl with CheerLights::API. The module provides methods for getting the current color, its hexadecimal value, and a history of recent colors.
Read a Color, Make Something With It
The module’s get_current_color() method returns the color name and hex value.
Use get_current_hex() when you only need the hex value, or get_color_history(5) to request five recent entries with their timestamps.
A Perl script could print the latest color in a terminal, use it on a webpage, or pass it to another part of your project.
The GitHub repository includes the module and usage examples. Start there for installation details and the method documentation.
