Hi Dirk, We have looked into this problem and added a ticket for it on our bug tracker. Ticket 74 . So far your code seems to work on winXP. We don't have a developer with Vista however. Dirk80, to get a better error report please change your code to the following. In the next release we will be updating Mixer bindings so this may be fixed soon. Please give us feed back on sdl-devel@perl.org or #sdl irc.perl.org. 
use strict;
use warnings;

use SDL v2.2.6; # This is for the old API
use SDL::Mixer;
use SDL::Music;

SDL::Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO);

my $mixer = eval { SDL::Mixer->new(-frequency => 44100, -channels => 2
+, -size => 1024); };

$mixer->music_volume(20);

my $music = new SDL::Music './test.mp3' or die "$! and SDL Error is".S
+DL::GetError();

$mixer->play_music($music,0); #0 for single play 

while(1)
{
    if( $mixer->playing_music() )
    {
    sleep(1);
    }
    else
    {
    last;
    }
}
