Default Internet Radio on AppleTV using VLC

I managed to stream Internet Radio using the Perlbin plugin. The steps are:

1. Install VLC
2. Install the PerlBin plugin
3. Create a file in the perlbin directory for each of the radio stations you want to play and put in the following content:
=======================
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $status = system("/Users/frontrow/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC http://wnycam.streamguys.com");
=======================

It is still raw. Need some guru to touch it up, but it works yeah.

Actually an easier way is to create a pls playlist and then then put it into the Movies folder. ATV file will pick it up.
