marauder has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have this code 
use Audio::Wav;
my $wav = new Audio::Wav;
my $read = $wav -> read( "$filename.wav" );
my $details = $read -> details();
my $frequency = $details -> {sample_rate};

[download]
it gets wav details as I wish but still keeps the file open so when I try to move the file later on in the script I get the error "file being used by another process". Can anyone tell me how to close the file?

    Since the documentation for Audio::Wav doesn't seem to have anything on this, and since I can't get to the source from here, I would guess that destroying the object (undef $read) would close the file.

      Or perhaps undef $wav instead...
