Re^4: Console Window Minimized

Also I think that Win32::API::Prototype module is obsolete, you can use pure Win32::API instead of it.

Please clarify?

AFAIK Win32::API::Prototype was created when Win32::API had no handy importing style `use Win32::API; Win32::API->Import( 'mydll', 'int sum_integers(int a, int b)', ); $return = sum_integers(3, 2);` [download] Yes I know that Win32::API uses `eval` for importing but it works, so the searching and installing Win32::API::Prototype is not necessary. As for Win32::API::Prototype string manipulation functions, they are not seem very useful. I think Win32::API should take care about length of input strings and truncating of output ones. Unfortunately it's not implemented there. May be I'll do it if the author don't.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

      use Win32::API;
      Win32::API->Import(
          'mydll', 'int sum_integers(int a, int b)',
      );  
      $return = sum_integers(3, 2);
