+====== play .m3u playlists via http ======
+All my mp3s are stored on my filesever. Normally I just mount the mp3 directory on my current workstation (either via NFS or Samba). I have some playlists too which store all files with relative paths (relative to the playlist location). This works fine.
+But sometimes I want to have an easy way to listen to a playlist without mounting anything (eg. when using the laptop). So I made the mp3 files and playlists available on my local Apache webserver and use the following short CGI to get a playlist with http adresses to the file.
+<code perl>
+#!/usr/bin/perl
+$WEBDIR = '/var/www';
+$WEBSERVER = 'xerxes';
+use CGI;
+use File::Basename;
+print "Content-type: audio/x-mpegurl\r\n\r\n";
+$q = new CGI();
+$list = $q->param('list');
+$dir  = dirname($list);
+$list = $WEBDIR.'/'.$list;
+open (LIST, $list) or die("Could not read $list");
+@m3u = <LIST>;
+close LIST;
+foreach $file (@m3u){
+ $file = 'http://'.$WEBSERVER.$dir.'/'.$file;
+ chomp($file);
+ print "$file\n";
+}
