I finally reached a point where I need to scan a document via perl & perl tk and I am really getting stumped. I have (of course) tried using 'Win32:API & Win32::Scanner::EZTWAIN' as prescribed by most internet searches. The modules load correctly, but when I try to implement the
$Scanner = new Win32::Scanner::EZTWAIN(-dll=>$Current_Directory.'/EZTW32.dll');
directive, I get 'Tk::Error: Importing API call TWAIN_SelectImageSource failed (at that line)' and can't figure out why. I have loaded EZTW32.dll (testing on windows XP) and cannot figure out what is wrong... Anyone have any ideas, or, even, another way to scan a document page on a scanner that is installed properly and works with paint shop? ANY direction at this point would help, I'm still scouring the net for alternatives.

Has anyone seen this sliced bread thing? I's better than... sliced... well... never mind...
