VoiceXML::Client is a library that provides Perl programs with the ability to act as a user agent that fetches Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) documents, parses them, and then executes the instructions therein by playing prompts and collecting user DTMF input/voice recordings through a handle to some type of telephone or other device interface. VoiceXML::Client's focus is on the client side. The XML documents are generated by a distinct process of your choice, unrelated to the library.
