Perhaps I've misunderstood you, but it appears blessing the handle just gives me a new (empty) menu. This does me no good as far as I can see. I'm trying to disable an item in an EXISTING menu -- the one attached to the main window. 
sub Main {
    my $Menu Win32::GUI::MakeMenu(
        '&Program'    => 'Program',
        ' > &Settings'    => { -name => 'Settings',   -onClick => \&GU
+I_Settings },
        ' > &About'    => { -name => 'About',      -onClick => \&About
+_Click },
        ' > &Update'    => { -name => 'Update',     -onClick => \&Upda
+te_Now },
        ' > E&xit'    => { -name => 'Exit',       -onClick => \&Main_T
+erminate }
    );

    my $WinMain = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
        -name => 'Main',
        -menu => $Menu,
        ...
    );
...
}

sub Update_Now {
    my($Window)=@_;

    # Disable the 'Update' menu item
    
}

As far as the functional interface goes, can you be more specific? I've read the tutorial several times. If there's something in there that helps me solve my problem, I'm not making the connection. Would you be so kind as to point it out?
