Hi, I'm actually importing a dll within a perl script using Wi32::api module. The dll is very simple: 
extern "C"
{
    __declspec(dllexport) int dummyFunc();
    __declspec(dllexport) int dummyFunc2(int a );
}

Using both function within a perl with Win32::api v0.65 works properly. Doing the same with Win32::api v0.75 lead to a Perl crash calling the  int dummyFunc2(int a ) function. No crash calling a function without any input parameter. The crash happens just after the function return (every action inside the function is done). If I call a function within a standard windows DLL (like Kernel32.dll) it works without problem. Therefore the issue seems to be related to the Api version but also to the DLL. Any suggestion about what is going wrong? My setup is: - Windows7 - Active state perl v5.16 - DLL has been compiled with MSVc++ express and QtCreator (mingw) Thanks
