Thanks Moonie =)
You set me off in a fresh direction. Turns out that you can get a DLL off of Sourceforge right here. That might help me for the short term, and at the same time it'll make me learn how to call outside DLL's via Perl. I'm sure it's possible, and I'll get a chance to do it. I dug around on Sourceforge and learned that there's a very piddly Perl presence (or pPp if you will, which sort-of looks like Java, php, and vbs sticking tongues out at us).

Amongst the pPp on that site, there are three projects that are simultaneously working towards goals larger than my little sub-goal ;) One of them currently is marked as 'OS Independent' and near completion, so I'm hoping for the best there.

Off to figure out Win32::API and give it a whirl =)
