Having come from a serious music background, you better believe that using Perl to create sounds has crossed my mind more than once.

I recommend using Audio::Wav to create interesting sound effects (via Audio::Wav::Write). But that is about all. :(

The CPAN MIDI modules are really not very useful, but that's to be expected - who really wants to spend 5 hours composing MIDI in Perl when you can get the job done in 1 hour with a shareware MIDI composer?

As for Audio::CoolEdit (playing with CoolEdit is one of my favorite past times!), well, all it seams to do is arrange wav files for a multitrack - seems to be a waste of Perl's time if you ask me . . . . hmmmm, but maybe not for a CGI app?

Anyhoo - good luck to you, like i said - i think the best thing to do is to use Perl to create 'SOUNDS' and use another application to mix/merge those sounds together.
