Hi Monks I've been trying to write a user defined dll in C so that I can call the functions contained within the dll in my Perl program. I have used Win32::API with little trouble on existing Windows functions such as FindWindow or SendMessage, but I cannot get any basic C function to call correctly when I create the dll myself. I get a GPF every time when I attempt to call it thus: -

(From the event log)

Faulting application perl.exe, version 5.8.7.815, faulting module perl58.dll, version 5.8.7.815, fault address 0x000606b7.

I'm using Windows XP Pro sp2 with ActiveState Perl 5.8.7.
The dll is created using Visual Studio 6 sp6.

My code snippet:

The function simply takes an integer and returns it, simple as that (you would think).

use strict;<br>
use diagnostics;<br><br>

use Win32::API;<br><br>

my $func = Win32::API->new ('C:\func.dll', 'myFunc',['I'], ['I']) or d
+ie "Can't make a Win32::API object!";<br><br>

print "ReturnCode = ", $func->Call(100);<br>
