Hi,

Yup Win32::API docs are a bit confused 

my $CallNextHookEx = Win32::API->Import( 'user32',
    'LRESULT WINAPI CallNextHookEx(HHOOK  hhk, int nCode, WPARAM wPara
+m, LPARAM lParam)'
);

[download]

Import creates sub CallNextHookEx (which you can call like CallNextHookEx() ), but the return value is a boolean, and you can't ->Call on it

If you want to be able to use $CallNextHookEx->Call() change Win32::API->Import to Win32::API->new

Also, MsgLoop will never get a chance to hear from sendString unless they run simultaneously, which means using two programs or using two threads ( MsgLoop runs in one thread, and sendString runs in another )

Good luck
