SDL_Perl is a good multi-purpose multimedia module, with alot of support. It plays wavs, and more. Here is the loopwav test program from the distro. ( I really like the test wav..."I met a woman one night, wearing black and blue tears...her clothes were tight") dood doo do do do da do da :-) 
#!/usr/bin/env perl 

use SDL;

die "Could not initialize SDL: ", SDL::GetError()
        if ( 0 > SDL::Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO()));

$ARGV[0] ||= 'data/sample.wav';

die "usage: $0 [wavefile]\n"
        if ( in $ARGV[0], qw/ -h --help -? /);

my ($wav_spec,$wav_buffer,$wav_len,$wav_pos) = (0,0,0,0);

my $done = 0;

$fillerup  = sub {
        my ($data,$len) = @_;

        $wav_ptr = $wav_buffer + $wav_pos;
        $wav_remainder = $wav_len - $wav_pos;

        while ( $wav_remainder <= $len ) {
                SDL::MixAudio($data,$wav_ptr,$wav_remainder,SDL_MIX_MA
+XVOLUME);
                $data += $wav_remainder;
                $len -= $wav_remainder;
                $wav_ptr = $wav_buffer;
                $wav_remainder = $wav_len;
                $wav_pos = 0;
        }
        SDL::MixAudio($data,$wav_ptr,$len,SDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME);
        $wav_pos += $len;
};

$poked = sub {
        $done = 1;
};

$SIG{HUP} = $poked;
$SIG{INT} = $poked;
$SIG{QUIT} = $poked;
$SIG{TERM} = $poked;

$spec = SDL::NewAudioSpec(44100,AUDIO_S16,2,4096);

$wave = SDL::LoadWAV($ARGV[0],$spec);

($wav_spec,$wav_buffer,$wav_len) = @$wave;

die "Could not load wav file $ARGV[0], ", SDL::GetError(), "\n" unless
+ ( $wav_len );

die "Could not open audio ", SDL::GetError()
        if (0 > SDL::OpenAudio($wav_spec,$fillerup));

SDL::PauseAudio(0);

print "Using audio driver: ", SDL::AudioDriverName(), "\n";

while (! $done && ( SDL::GetAudioStatus() == SDL_AUDIO_PLAYING())) {
        SDL::Delay(1000);
}
