I'm afraid you will have to run one script under unix and another
under Windows. The Windows one will load the DLL and act as a server,
the unix one will connect to the Windows one via socket()s, send the
requests and get the results.
Another option might be to run the script using Windows perl in a
windows emulation subsystem (Lindows or something). Can't help you
with this though.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
