Ah. Now this is bordering on probably being against the DMCA, but I'm not in America, so I don't mind. ;)

One thing you can try is just curling the url to stdout to see what's in it. This might look really weird if it's binary, but in this case it's not.

% curl http://www.wjse.com/jseaudio.asx 
<asx version = "3.0"> 
  <title>WJSE Live Stream For Dial-up Connections</title> 
  <entry> 
    <BANNER  HREF = "http://wjse.com/images/wmbanners/lavalife120x30.g
+if" />
    <ref href = "mmst://corp.wjse.com/audio"/> 
  </entry> 
</asx>

It's the part with the ref tag that you want. But the mmst protocol isn't supported by cURL. I believe it's propietary to some company. Probably MS ;).

I haven't tried it myself, but I've been led to believe that asfrecorder will do the job.

So much for discussing perl eh? - I didn't find anything but XML::ASX which doesn't do what we need here.
