Retrieving variables from flash video with perl

Question

I am downloading a flash video with Perl. Is there a way to interact with the flash video like retrieving variables from the flash video, like you can do in C#?

For instance, in C# you can put a Shockwave Flash Object on a form and then you can do GetVariable/SetVariable on that object. I don't want to/don't care if I can see the video, I just want something like the Get/SetVariable of the C# Shockwave Flash object.

I'm not sure what kind of variables you're looking for, but CGI::Application::Plugin::Flash can be used to set and get variables from a flash object: http://search.cpan.org/~bcbailey/CGI-Application-Plugin-Flash-0.02/lib/CGI/Application/Plugin/Flash.pm
