I certainly don't have one, and I'd suspect that you are going to have to work for this.

The problem is that WMA is a proprietary format, and Microsoft has little interest in cooperating with others on it. Quite the opposite in fact, they are integrating DRM (Digital Rights Management) into it, and DRM will fail badly if third parties are able to write their own decoders which are free to ignore Microsoft's DRM rules.

My first suggestion is to contact the author of Audio::WMA and ask him what he found. My second is to hope that you can get the music in a different format. My third is to go to Microsoft's documentation for things like the Windows Media Player SDK and see if you can script their official COM interface using Win32::OLE.
