I read somewhere about a perl monk who had a perl script interacting with a MP3 player as his alarm clock, where at a certain time, music would start to play.

I am wondering what sorts of modules I would need to create something similar to this, and am wonder what the other monks would recommend.

• Need it to goto 100.3 The Bear's webcast, and be able to play it. It uses either Real Player or Flash, I will check later, but better to allow for both
• Have this happen at a certain time
• Run as a Daemon

No this is not homework, if it was, I would wonder about the teacher's sanity, I just think it would be really cool if I could program this :)

Summary: What modules do I want?
