in reply to Win32::API question
You create dthe API object but you need to return a result from a call to that object. Note I do not have the dll in question so I can not test but I would think your code should look like this:
use Win32::API; my $filename="C:/Windows/ieuninst.exe"; my $Api = new Win32::API("fileversion.dll", "GetFileVersionTxt", P, P) +; # Set some memory aside for the returned value my $output = "\x00" x 1024; # Call the function in the dll $Api->Call($filename,$output); # Remove the unused padding in the string my $final = ($output =~ /(.*?)\x00/); print "\output - $final";
This is from an example in Chapter 9 of Win32 API from Win32 Perl Programming by David Roth modified to match your criteria. I would like to play with dll to test this as I think it would need some tweaking to run. I also suggest reading the pod for Win32::API as they have some excellent examples of getting data in and out of the functions loaded.
