I can't get Win32::API to install under cygwin and I couldn't find much
on the web or groups about how to get it to install.
What is the best way to call a function in an external DLL? Is
Win32::API the only way?
Thanks,
Jim

There's a version of Win32::API-0.21 that should build under Cygwin at:

You can also use Inline::C (which is the method I prefer). In 'perldoc
Inline::C-Cookbook' look for 'How do I access Win32 DLL-s using Inline?'.
