Recording what, exactly? An audio input device? A CD? System audio being played through the sound card? There are Perl drivers for OSS devices (Audio::OSS, Audio::DSP, etc.) and also a number of modules that encode and recode audio (FFMPEG::*, Audio::MPEG, Audio::ConvTools, etc.). Whether they will meet your needs depends on whether your audio devices support open standards, or whether there happens to be a module for your specific audio device. Failing that, you can always your system()/Win32::API to capture the output from a proprietary driver, or try to read the device directly with IO::Socket, etc. Of course a CD can be read like any other file system, and there are modules to handle that scenario, too. A CPAN search for "auido" is probably the best place to start.
