Open VLC in Perl ?

[Srijith B]

i need a perl script to :

--> open vlc and play a 5 min mp3
--> pause after 2 minutes and ask whether to continue
--> if pressed "y" continue play
--> else close vlc
Thank you

There is VideoLan::Clien t on CPAN.

P.S. Both vlc and Perl are crossplatform. You should mention under which OS you want to run your program.
