I never got success when using the fancier ways that Win32::API provides for encoding the structs. I've always had to manually use pack and specify integers and pointers when importing functions. Maybe the numerical value of $^E is documented somewhere in the MSDN? A cursory search turns up error 1008, which seems to just mean that you used an unknown GUID...

The signature for WlanConnect() seems to be

        ['WlanConnect' => 'IPPI' => 'I'],

and I think it should be possible to construct the appropriate structure without involving that dark Win32::API magic that I try to avoid. You "just" have to pack the two DOT11 structs and put pointers to them (using the P pack template) into a string, and pass that string to WlanConnect. In principle it should be easy, but I currently don't have the time to investigate this, sorry.
