I wish to register my perl module at cpan. The details are as under. 1. Name - Mukund Deshmukh. 2. Email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. Home Page - www.betacomp.com 4. Preferred ID - MUKUND 5. Description - This is a perl module for complete Interactive Voice Response system using standard voice modem. Although it uses some code from the SerialPort.pm, but voice interface is written by me. I had searched the complete cpan and other archive but did not find any thing comparable and easily usable. Following modules were found but had certain limitations. Vgetty.pm - uses voice shell and vgetty which are slower in response and unreliable. Vbox.pm - Lack proper documentation and can not be used easily. This module easily integrates with all the requirement IVRS like tele banking, product information, voice mail, tele marketing, call center and others. 5.
