Invoking Win32 dll from Perl.

[Sharad K]

Hi all,

I am trying to invoke a function in kernel32.dll from my perl program which
looks like this -

use Win32::API;
$GetPID = new Win32::API("kernel32", "GetCurrentProcessId", '', 'N');
$PID = $GetPID->Call();

But ActivePerl cribs saying "Can't locate Win32/API.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: E:/Perl/lib E:/Perl/site/lib .
) at 1.pl line 2."

Can anyone please point me the source of the error.

Thanks in advance,
Sharad

Can anyone please point me the source of the error.

The message is telling you that perl can't find the Win32::API module.

Use ppm or ppm3 to 'install' it.

C:\ppm3
<blah blah blah>

ppm> search Win32::API
Searching in Active Repositories
1. Win32-API [0.41] Perl Win32 API Import Facility
2. Win32-API-OutputDebugString [0.03] OutputDebugString Win32 API support
ppm> install 1

Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the Win32::API perl extension from http://dada.perl.it/#api.
After installing Win32::API and putting it in the right folders I got this
error messsage -
"Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::API in @INC".

Can you tell me what is the cause of the problem now?

Thanks again,

Check that you have the modules
Win32::API::Type and
Win32::API::Struct

It looks to me that you haven't got all the ::API's installed
