Thanks, that clue helped me find a solution.
use Win32::API;
use constant HWND_BROADCAST => -1;
use constant WM_SETTINGCHANGE => 0x1a;
my $SendMessage = new Win32::API("user32", "SendMessage",
'NNNP', 'N')
or die "Couldn't create SendMessage: $!\n";
my $RetVal =
$SendMessage->Call(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_SETTINGCHANGE,0,'Environment');
Thanks again,
Jared
