asterisk users - May 2005 - Random Sound File

Does anyone know of a way to play a random sound file in a given directroy.
Ideally I want to incorporate the random play with the Asterisk 'Read'
command, however any other suggestions would be good.

Cheers
Ed

AGI script in Perl (or whatever) should do it easily.

Get a random number between 1 and n.... then index into a list of files. 
Then either play the file from the AGI script or just return it's name in a 
variable for later playing.
