For song recognition, check out libmusicbrainz. It's a C library though, so using it from Perl will really throw you in at the deep end. Your choices for integrating C and Perl code are realistically either Inline::C or XS.

Perl bindings for the XML based web service: WebService::MusicBrainz

Or a finished application http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard

WebService::MusicBrainz doesn't do audio fingerprinting which means that it's not especially useful for identifying songs that you don't already have at least some metadata for.

Picard is a great tool - I use it extensively - but given that the original poster's aim is to learn how to code in Perl, handing him an already-written Python program doesn't help him.

Then neither does libmusicbrainz, why did you recommend it?
