  Starting from a bound-state model of weakly bound quarks for ($q \bar{q}$)
mesons, we derive a formalism for computing the production or decay of such
mesons, whatever the value of their internal orbital angular momentum L. That
approach appears as a natural generalization of the Brodsky-Lepage formalism
(valid only for L=0) that has been widely used in recent years for the
computation of exclusive processes in perturbative QCD. We here apply it to the
production, in photon-photon collisions, of: i) tensor-meson pairs; ii)
pseudotensor-meson pairs; iii) hybrid pairs made of a pion and a pseudotensor
meson. The numerical results we obtain allow for some hope of experimentally
identifying such pairs, in the charged channels, at high-energy e^+e^-
colliders of the next generation, provided integrated luminosities as high as
$\approx 10^{40} cm^{-2}$ can be reached.
