please help

You forgot to use Win32::Sound; :D

It seems, you need the process (thread) to live, for the sound to get played

This (sleep) works, it makes noise 

perl -MWin32::Sound -e " Win32::Sound::Play( qq[$ENV{WINDIR}/media/cho
+rd.wav] , SND_ASYNC ); sleep 3; Win32::Sound::Stop(); "

Omit the sleep and it doesn't make noise. Looping also works 
perl -MWin32::Sound -e " Win32::Sound::Play( qq[$ENV{WINDIR}/media/cho
+rd.wav] , Win32::Sound::SND_ASYNC() | Win32::Sound::SND_LOOP() ); sle
+ep 3; Win32::Sound::Stop(); "

Don't mess with volume, that is users job :)
