You cannot call .NET code using Win32::API. It is not native x86 code,
but code for a virtual machine that must be executed by the .NET runtime.
You can call .NET code from Perl using PerlNET from the ActiveState
Perl Dev Kit. You can find more information (and download a trial version)
here:
http://www.activestate.com/perl_dev_kit/
http://docs.activestate.com/pdk/8.1/PerlNET_overview.html
A free alternative if you only want to call into .NET might be the Win32::CLR
module from CPAN. You'll need to compile it yourself with the corresponding
Microsoft C++ compiler. I've never tried it myself, so I don't know if it works
or not.
