Controlling Xine with Perl script

Hello,

I want to write a Perl script that is able to control the playback of files in xine.
I read about the xine library for perl, Video::xine, but thats not what I want...
I just want a little code that sends , for exemple, a signal to xine to pause playback, continue playback etc.

It would be possible to use little pieces of Shell scripts, but it would be much better if I can make it with Perl...

Thanks in advance

SYNOPSIS

	 $video = new SDL::Video ( -name => 'pr0n.mpg' );

DESCRIPTION

       "SDL::Video" adds support for MPEG video to your SDL Perl application.  Videos are objects bound to surfaces, whose playback is controled
       through the object's interface.

   METHODS
       o   "SDL::Video::error()" returns any error messages associated with playback

       o   "SDL::Video::audio(bool)" enables or disables audio playback, (on by default)

       o   "SDL::Video::video(bool)" enables or disable video playback, (on by default)

       o   "SDL::Video::loop(bool)" enables or disable playback looping (off by default)

       o   "SDL::Video::volume(int)" set the volume as per the mixer volume

       o   "SDL::Video:display(surface)" binds the clip to a display surface

       o   "SDL::Video::scale([x,y]|[surface]|int)" scales the clip by either x,y factors, scales to the image dimensions, or a single scalar.

       o   "SDL::Video::play()" plays the video clip, call "SDL::Video::display()" before playing

       o   "SDL::Video::pause()" pauses video playback

       o   "SDL::Video::stop()" stops video playback

       o   "SDL::Video::rewind()" resets the clip to the beginning

       o   "SDL::Video::seek(offset)" seeks to a particular byte offset

       o   "SDL::Video::skip(time)" skips to a particular time

       o   "SDL::Video::region(rect)" takes a SDL::Rect and defines the display area

       o   "SDL::Video::frame(int)" renders a specific frame to the screen

       o   "SDL::Video::info()" returns a new "SDL::MPEG" object reflecting the current status

       o   "SDL::Video::status()" returns either SMPEG_PLAYING or SMPEG_STOPPED or SMPEG_ERROR
