I don't have a howto, but some thoughts:

reading the serial port is probably provided by the /dev/ttyS* device files.. read up on the serial tty driver in linux. Then i suppose you can use std file processing in perl [i dont use perl, but i heard it's rather complete :)]. The last thing you need is a file player which can be remote controlled. Either just launch aplay processes from the perl script, or use xmms remote controlling for example..
