Here's an alternative if you can't get it going using API:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::API;
use constant DEFAULT => 0xFFFFFFFF; # Std speaker beep
use constant MB_OK => 0x00000000; # SystemDefault
use constant MB_ICONHAND => 0x00000010; # SystemHand
use constant MB_ICONQUESTION => 0x00000020; # SystemQuestion
use constant MB_ICONEXCLAMATION => 0x00000030; # SystemExclamation
use constant MB_ICONASTERISK => 0x00000040; # SystemAsterisk
Win32::API->Import('user32', 'BOOL MessageBeep (UINT uType)') or
die "import MessageBeep: $! ($^E)";
# loop through the various beeps
for (DEFAULT, MB_OK, MB_ICONHAND, MB_ICONQUESTION, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION,
MB_ICONASTERISK) {
my $ret = MessageBeep ($_);
sleep 1;
}
__END__
