It depends on what you want to do with the message. Win32::GUI is probably the right tool (it might have exactly what you need already), but since that's a bit vague...

I suspect that if you state what you want on a higher level of abstraction, Win32::GUI will be useful in some way, at least as the proper base to build on.

Get both the PPM and the source distribution with the docs and stuff.

If you decide to go with Win32::GUI, this mailing list is highly recommended:
