You should only need to create the .config file and the .playlist file.
The rest will get created for you. If your application consists of Perl
CGIs, then you can use playlist-lib.pl to deal with your playlists. You
also needn't delete your playlist directory when you stop the playlist.
The pid file gets deleted automatically as well, when the playlist
stops.
