Hey, I'm trying to use Win32::API to call the RegisterHotKey function. However that links a hotkey with a window, and once i've linked it to my Win32::GUI::Window I have no idea how to the trap the resulting WM_HOTKEY message that should eb sent. 

use Win32::GUI;
use Win32::API;
my $mw_win32 = new Win32::GUI::DialogBox(
        -width   => 0,
        -height  => 0,
        -name    => 'MainWindow');
my $proto = 'BOOL RegisterHotKey(HWND hWnd, int id, UINT fsModifiers, 
+UINT vk)';
Win32::API->Import('user32', $proto) or die "import RegisterHotKey: $!
+ ($^W)";
# Call:
my $ret = RegisterHotKey ($mw_win32->{-handle}, 1, 11||12 , 41);
if (not $ret) { die "RegisterHotKey: $! ($^E)"; }

So any help would be appreciated. also if i've wandered down the completely wrong path please let me know! I'm using Win32::GUI + Tk to handle a systray icon and I'm hoping to add some hotkeys!...Thanks.
