I thought I had it figured out, but it seems that I don't. I took a look at Win32::Resources, but I understand what is getting written to data. Here is an example of the code I am using:

#!perl -w

use strict;
use Win32::Resources;

my $filename = "C:/path/to/file.dll";

my $data = Win32::Resources::LoadResource(
    filename => $filename,
    type => 'STRING',
    name => '1',
    language => '0'
);

print "$data\n";

$data appears to just be a bunch binary data. Not the text strings I was looking for. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Thanks again.
