Update:
I found a windows version of mpg123 for windows, but i am unsure how i could best interface it with perl, as the mpg123 perl module itself returns "Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro F_SETFL, used at MPG123.pm line 44" when i attempt to use it with the windows binary for of mpg123.

Update, Part Two:
The mpg123.exe i found for windows appears to have several major flaws, namely taking over my sound card and refusing to relinquish control, to the point of not allowing it to play multiple streams. Very bad, as i really liked the idea of mpg123 and it would be very nice if i could find a windows version.
