how can I use perl to do a windows "postmessage" ?

[Paul S.]

Hi,
I want to use PERL to communicate with another software package I have.
The other software allows one to "talk" to it using the postmessage
command. I am using activestate PERL - do you know where I can get a
compatible (to active state PERL 5.6) package that has the postmessage
function?

You can use the Win32::API module.

Hi Sinan,
Thank you!
I tried using the Activestate package manager to install the win32-api
module but it did not work. You wouldn't happen to know where I could
get the module would you?

Thanks

I have only installed Win32::API through ppm but I am using 5.8.

In any case, you could try:

<http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/Win32-API-
0.41.zip> (http://tinyurl.com/6dacg in case the URL wraps).

Google and CPAN are your friends, BTW.

Hope this helps.
