Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I was browsing the internet for Windows APIs to be used in Perl, a tutorial
which can help me understand Windows APIs and Perl usage with them.

Also, a tutorial on Microsoft WMI.
Please suggest some good tutorials.

    The Windows API is documented in Microsoft's MSDN. It can be accessed via XS, Inline::C and Win32::API. WMI can be accessed via DBD::WMI.

    Win32::API of course!

    A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
