Here my code ... 
use Win32::API;
use Data::Dumper;
use FileHandle;

#Open Filehandler
$fh = new FileHandle;
if ($fh->open("< C:\\data.wim")) {
  $fh->close;
}

my $wimfile = new Win32::API("wimgapi", "WIMCreateFile", ['P','C','C',
+'C','C','C'], 'N');
my $value = $wimfile->Call($fh,WIM_GENERIC_WRITE,WIM_OPEN_EXISTING,WIM
+_FLAG_VERIFY,WIM_COMPRESS_NONE,WIM_OPENED_EXISTING);

print $value;
#Returns:
#         0

print Dumper($wimfile);
#Returns: 
# $VAR1 = bless( {
#                  'out' => 1,
#                  'dll' => 1940783104,
#                  'procname' => 'WIMCreateFile',

#                            6
#                          ]
