Perl can easily run web servers. For example, CGI provides the most basic functionality. Mojolicious and Dancer for example are more capable frameworks. All of them can run another program that plays the sound on your webserver machine. For playing the sound, I would look at `mplayer` or any other sound player program, and launch that, for example via system.	[reply] [d/l]

Do you mean you have stored your music files on the server and you want to listen to them on your client machine? If so, explore Logitech Media Server (written in Perl!).

I have the music file stored on the server and want them to play on the server. Right know I have a perl script that is launching mplayer via system. My only problem is that I can't seem to activate the script server-side via a client. Any help would be greatly appreciated.	[reply]

What do you mean by "Can't seem to activate the script"? Does the web server error log have any information? What are the symptoms?	[reply]

What good does it do to play the music files on the server? Is there anybody in the server room who can listen to them? If so, (s)he can simply launch the musicplayer via the console.
