the problem is simply that WM_USER is not exported by
Win32::GUI. you can manually define it with:

use constant WM_USER = 1024;

or, you can download and use the Win32API::Const module
by Brian Dellert, which exposes all the constants from
the Win32 SDK. for example, you can have access to all
the WM_* constants with this:

use Win32API::Const qw( :WM_ );

Todd!!  I tried the same things!  I got fairly close to making a usable
interface, but when I asked the winamp folks for help (7 times) I never got a
response.  I have code I can send if you would like it, it's fairly complete,
except for the volume control (which was what I was writing to winamp about)  if
you would like to see it.

The answer to your question is that I had to go to MS's website and get the
value of the WM_USER constant, which I then set since it wasn't being exported
by Win32::GUI.

The above link has the list of commands Winamp accepts.  The primary
benefit is being able to query Winamp.  Is there a song playing?  What
songs are in the playlist?

Just emulating keyboard presses is more on a one-way communication (stop

Todd,

The problem was finding a way to determine the volume of winamp at startup so I
could position my volume slider accordingly.  There was no message to retrieve
it, and I thought just forcing it to a certain volume was a cheesy fix - nothing
like setting it low, then restarting and it's blaring again...

I was never offered a solution, so I let the project slip.
