I'm trying to get perl to play MP3 thru a Windows box. My first thought as to use MediaPlayer. Looked up the info for the Windows Media Player control off of MSDN, made a quick script with Win32::OLE and got nothing. Add strict and warnings and I find out 
$app->{'controls'}->Play()
is giveing me 
Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80020003: "Member not found"
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "" at mp3.vbs line 6

It seem I'm geting the seems $app->{'controls'} is ju returning $app Player object instead of $app's Controls object. Controlling Windows Media Player from Perl or how to find OLE methods easily So what am I doing wronge?

sreahing PerlMonks only turned up Controlling Windows Media Player from Perl or how to find OLE methods easily whitch wasnt usefull. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
my $app = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('{6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79F
+AA6}');
$app->{'URL'} = "http://www.dailywav.com/0403/toothpasteshampoo.wav";
my $cont = ($app->{'controls'});

print  "his:" . $app->{'URL'} . "\n";
print  "his:" . $app->{'controls'}->{'URL'} . "\n";
