Hello monks. I was hoping you could assisst me in accessing a DLL file. I don;t need to update the DLL I only need to be able to read a bunch of text values out of the DLL into a hash. When I open the DLL in file in ResHacker I see the resources I need under numbered folders under the main folder called String Table. Inside each of the numbered sub folders is what I believe is a resource and the data within that resource looks some thing like this: 

STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
1,     "foo"
2,     "faz"
3,     "far"
4,     "bar"
5,     "baz"
6,     "boo"
7,     "abc"
8,     "def"
9,     "ghi"
10,     "jkl"
11,     "mno"
12,     "pqr"
13,     "stu"
14,     "vwx"
15,     "yz1"
}

I need to pull that data out and make it into key/value pairs in a hash. And then move down to the next numbered folder and do the same. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? I took a look at Win32::API, but I have no idea how to use it or if it is even what I need for this.

Thanks!
