You can get the constants by doing 'use xxx;' where xxx is the name of the C header that would contain the constants in C. Dor instance: use winbase; use winuser; For structures... there was a perl sample that created a Windows that was floating around. But I cannot find it anymore. Does anyone know where it is? If I remember correctly you are supposed to 'pack' the data so that its layout matches the C structure (and unpack it to get the data). I am not certain if there were plans to provide macros to do this. -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Demander si un ordinateur peut penser revient à demander si un sous-marin peut nager.
