This depends heavily on the DLL you are talking about. Most (if not all) of the Win32 interface is reachable through modules named Win32::* (if you are using Activestate you already have most of them). If the DLL is not part of Win32 but is popular enough then there is a good chance you can find a module to expose its functions to Perl. If it is not a popular DLL then you are stuck exposing its interface to Perl yourself. The way to do this is through either Inline::C* or XS. XS is the preferred method last time I checked. You can find out more about XS from these docs perldoc perlxstut perldoc perlxs perldoc perlguts perldoc perlclib perldoc perlapi * http://search.cpan.org/dist/Inline/C/C.pod -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
