Calling the function using function pointer in the perl script.	Can't Post

Dear Friends,

I have a windows dll, in my perl script, i am able to load the dll using the Win32::LoadLibrary function and also i a getting the function pointer of the function in the dll, I am using Win32::GetProcAddress function to get the function pointer of the functions in dll. Now How should I call the function using the function pointer which i got from Win32::GetProcAddress?

Thanks in advance.

Those are old and deprecated modules.

You should use Win32::API

Though they are deprecated functions but are working still now, there might be the way to call the function using the pointer(handle) returned by GetProcAddress() function. I cant use win32::API because it is not available for 64 bit perl for windows. Please help with some other option. Basically i want to call a function from a dll.
