I have an old script which is using the SDL::Mixer. But it is not running anymore. Installing SDL::Mixer via cpan failed for me. So I installed it via sudo apt-get install libsdl-perl.

I tried to run the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use SDL::Mixer;

my $mixer = SDL::Mixer->new( -frequency => 22050,
                             -channels    => 2,
                             -size        => 1024);

But I get the following error message:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "SDL::Mixer" at test.pl l
+ine 8.

I have no idea what to do. Is SDL::Mixer not correctly installed? What do you recommend? Thank you very much!

Some more information: The following code tells me that I have version 1.2.12 installed.

use SDL::Mixer;
use SDL::Version;
 
my $version = SDL::Mixer::linked_version();
 
printf("%d.%d.%d\n", $version->major, $version->minor, $version->patch
+);

The code in my script which I wrote in 2013 to play a wav-file looks as follows: 
use SDL::Mixer;
use SDL::Music;

playMusicFile("test.wav");

BEGIN
{
    my $music;
    my $mixer = SDL::Mixer->new( -frequency => 22050,
                                 -channels    => 2,
                                 -size        => 1024);

    sub playMusicFile
    {
        my $music_file = $_[0];        
 
        $music = new SDL::Music $music_file;
        
        $mixer->music_volume(40);
        $mixer->play_music($music, 0);
    }
}

But as told before it is not working anymore.
