Using the sample code provided in the win32 sound module in a loop demonstrates the problem i am having. i need to generate a bunch of wav files with different pulse widths and repeat periods. i have a more complicated graphical program that allows me to change parameters. the problem is that once i create one wav file, i can never make one with fewer repeats. try the simple code below to see what i mean and please help me figure out how to make wav files with fewer repeats. 
use strict;
use Win32::Sound;
 
my $data = ""; 
my $counter = 0;
my $increment = 440/44100;
my $repeats;
my $input = 1;
    
while ($input){
     print "\nenter number of reps \"enter\" to quit.\n";
     $input=<STDIN>;
     chomp $input;
     $repeats = $input;
     make_wav();
}
    
sub make_wav{
    my $WAV = new Win32::Sound::WaveOut(44100, 8, 2);
    $data = "";
    $counter = 0;
    for ( my $i = 1 ; $i < $repeats + 1 ; $i++ ) {
        print "\ndoing repeat number $i";
        for my $j (1..4410) {
        my $v = sin($counter/2*3.14) * 128 + 128;    
        $data .= pack("cc", $v, $v);
        $counter += $increment;
        }
        for my $k (1..440) {   #silence between pulses
        my $v = 128;
        $data .= pack("cc", $v, $v);
        }    
    }
    $WAV->Unload();          # drop it
    $WAV->Load($data);       # get it
    $WAV->Write();           # hear it
    1 until $WAV->Status();  # wait for completion
    $WAV->Save("temp.wav",$data); # write to disk
    $WAV->Close();
}
