Did you ever get this to work correctly?

I'm having a similar problem with FindFirstFileNameW and FindNextFileNameW. I've never used LPCWSTR in a call to Win32::API and it's driving me nuts. I've tried 'P' as well using the standard type of call (i.e. no automatic Win32 definition conversion).

I've traced similar Win32::API calls through (e.g. CreateHardLinkA) and if it's a LPTSTR type argument, it translates it fine to a type 'p' to the call to pack (I think it's the 'type' pm that's doing it). But with the explicit LPCWSTR it treats it as 'S' to pack.

Anyway, if you got it working, I'd appreciate seeing the code the works. On the other hand, if someone just has a working wrapper to FindFirstFileNameW/FindNextFileNameW that would be even easier...
