Neozuki has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Excuse my ignorance, but I have just been struck with an idea. Is there any way (using perl) to connect with my modem, get it to call somebody's telephone, and then hang up when they pick up? If so, can I have any information you may have on how to do this, what modules to use, etc.
