Maybe you need to use "nmake" or "dmake", depending on your perl version.

    Okay, using nmake worked.

    For anyone wanting to know, the documentation is then viewed by typing "perldoc win32util" at a command prompt.

    Also, I got the Win32Util function to doing a maximize and not going underneath the taskbar by doing:
    #!perl
use strict;
use Tk;
use Win32Util;
my $mw = new MainWindow;
my ($xx, $yy, $w, $h) = Win32Util::client_window_region($mw);
$mw->geometry($w.'x'.$h.'+0+0');
MainLoop;

      It's better to write $mw->geometry($w.'x'.$h."+$xx+$yy");, as the taskbar (or any other obscuring bar) may be on top or left of the screen.
