Yup, there really isn't anything that is pure Perl based. We typically end up calling another app (mplayer, wmplayer, etc) and controlling it from Perl. Granted, we can tell the players, usually, to display without a frame in a specified 'window' - meaning embedded video.

Since displaying video and syncing the sound are time critical, your best bet is to control the player from perl.
