water has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi --
I'm trying to have a perl script make a phone call and play a reminder message.
I have a working voice modem (a US Robotics sportser). I've spent some hours muddling through the vgetty docs, as well as http://www.webreference.com/perl/tutorial/14/. No success.
The fact all these vgetty / mgetty docs are dated 1998 gives me some pause, too.
Is vgetty the right way to go about this?
Should I be looking at something else -- is there a way to use VoiceXML or something else to place a call?
Trying to keep costs low, but the call will be a rare event, so the per-call cost (if any) isn't a big deal.
Thanks for ideas
