I ask for some feedback on Beep.pm, a new module i wrote. This is meant to use the computer beeper in some fancier ways.
NB: this module works only on Linux now and requires an external program! (beep)

    #functional simple way
    use Beep;

    beep($freq, $milliseconds);

    #OO more musical way
    use Beep;

    my $beeper = Beep->new();
    
                #lilypond subset syntax accepted
    my $music = "g f bes c'8 f d4 c8 f d4 bes, c' g, f2";
                # Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky

    $beeper->play( $music );

Download the whole thing from my CPAN directory.

Some questions:

• Is the namespace fine?
• Is anybody willing to write an XS backend? (maybe even simply porting the beep program inside an XS module)
• Any other suggestion is gladly accepted

Update: looking at the posts below i decided the namespace should be Audio::Beep (thanks everybody for the suggestions).
The Prima effort is pretty cool. Looking at the code i think we could take the Win32 beep code directly (i wrote "we" cause i think i will need some help in this). For the Linux backend i would stick to a "beep" (the program) implementation as the one found in Prima requires X.
About the problem with Makefile.PL requiring Perl 5.8: i'm sorry, i don't think we require 5.8. It's just that h2xs produced the Makefile.PL with that header and I didn't realize it was bad. I will update it in next version.

Update2: updated the link to point to my CPAN directory. The new version in Audio::Beep namespace also feature a PurePerl backend (doesn't require the beep executable for root users).
