oaklander has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Please advise how I would get the 'Win32::MsgBox' to work.
As a test I just typed in a one line script with the following line: Win32::MsgBox("Test of box");

My error message:
Undefined subroutine &Win32::MsgBox called at C:\Perl\bin\WINY.PL line 2.

Do I need to put some type of 'use::Win32 etc...' message in the script??

    oaklander - you do need to include use Win32; at the top of your script. The format for Win32::MsgBox is this: Win32::MsgBox(MESSAGE [, FLAGS [, TITLE]]) - check out the perldocs at Win32. - Moon

    update: an example -
    use Win32; $msg = "Test of Box"; Win32::MsgBox($msg, 0 | MB_ICONINFORMATION, 'Just an Example');
      Thanks Moonie for the answer.
