    Thanks for the reply :-)

    If I do that, I get this: 
    usage: new IO::Handle at a.pl line 4

    [download]

    If I then do this:

    use IO::Handle;

use Audio::OSS qw(:funcs :formats :mixer);
my $dsp = new IO::Handle("</dev/dsp") or die "open failed: $!";

    [download]
    I get the same error.

      Maybe try changing IO::Handle to IO::File.
