    Though not perl there is a linux utility espeak that does just what you ask.. However if you're asking for something to work on source code I'm not sure about its code reading capability.

    Flite is very efficient, but you are limited in voice choice. Click on the link in my sig, to get a sample. I have a flite generated audio in the flash video (it comes at the end).

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
