I am interfacing with a DLL. I am (trying) use Win32::api. One of the calls to the DLL asks for a pointer to address. EG in C: 
int test_function(
                  int test_id,
                  size_t& sender_data_size,
                  char*& tagged_result_html,
                  char*& nav_results
);

[download]
So how do I send the pointer to the address?? How do I populae the call to char*& tagged_results_html? Once I send the pointer to the address correctly the function(dll) will write to that address. How do I access the pointer to the address and get the data out??? Any Ideas or guidance would be cherished. A humble perl guy.
