Is it possible to define the perl playlist script manually?

Currently when I run two instances of ices with perl playlist script both will execute the perl script located at /usr/local/etc/modules/ices.pm, but in the perl script its impossible to make a difference between both instances.

I need to be able to some how pass a variable to the perl script or define a different perl script for each instance of Ices.

At the moment I have two instances which both stream the exact same music

Found the solution. With -M you can define the playlist script.

For example:

/usr/local/bin/ices -c /usr/local/etc/vn.reggae.xml -M reggae
/usr/local/bin/ices -c /usr/local/etc/vn.pop.xml -M pop

First example uses the perl script /usr/local/etc/modules/reggae.pm and second example /usr/local/etc/modules/pop.pm
