Good to know! Thanks tye---I've found bugs on both sides because of exercising the other so to speak, so finding a different language that doesn't wander to far from the necessary roots is a good thing, at least for me in how I go about coding.

    I find that the Win32 API documentation often misses some important points and so experimentation is often very handy.

    So having a language like Perl that supports very fast ad hoc experimenting (especially with "perl -de 0") can be very useful in learning parts of the Win32 API.

    That was a small part of my motivation in writing the Win32API:: modules that I've done so far.
