Event sensing

I played a few months back with some of the perl midi tools but wasn't
highly impressed with the real-time event monitoring on receive.  I have an
AX-1 and  MOTU that I use to connect to my laptop.  I will likely also get
the expansion base so there is less of a fuss trying to find linux drivers
for the MOTU and/or my sound canvas pc-midi interface.  Anyway - I have
wanted for some time to be able to monitor a midi channel for key strokes to
trigger 'sounds' on my PC.  I will have no problem programming the sound
library or the playback, but I am wondering if anyone has opinions on
real-time event monitoring.  Is it possible yet in perl for an application
like this?  (i.e. - hit a particular key, and play back a particular audio
sample - these are sound effect mind you, like south park quotes, monty
python, etc)
