    Either use the fully-qualified name of the function, or import it in the use statement. 
    # Either this:
use Win32API::File;

my $uOldMode = Win32API::File::SetErrorMode( $uNewMode );

# or this:
use Win32API::File qw( SetErrorMode );

my $uOldMode = SetErrorMode( $uNewMode );

    I presumed you neither imported SetErrorMode nor used its full name? 

    use Win32API::File qw( SetErrorMode SEM_NOOPENFILEERRORBOX );
SetErrorMode( SetErrorMode(0) | SEM_NOOPENFILEERRORBOX );
