My problem is as follows: I'm accessing a device which sends a message to a specified window about status changes, I'm new to Perl and so don't know how to read or catch this message sent. The device is a SmartCard reader which comes with its own drivers, it's dlls are used to access it. Calling a function from the smartcard dll allows you to setup the window messaging, you give it a window handle and when a card is either inserted or removed the dll will send a message to that window. Any window handle can be given. I'm using Tk on the latest version of Perl on Win2000. If you need more info then I'll try to give more details. Thank you for your time. Stevo_ie
