How much of Win32::API do you need working on 5.6? I have gotten Win32::API 0.74 but not the Win32::API::Callback sub module working 5.6.

I need Win32::API::Prototype and Win32::API::Struct working on 5.6.1.635

Win32::API::Prototype is not part of Win32::API. Win32::API::Struct is part of Win32::API. I should have a new CPAN release of Win32::API with Perl 5.6 support by the end of the week. pack's syntax in 5.6 is very different/older compared to 5.8/Modern Perl so many tests fail either because (), [], !, and J are not supported by 5.6 pack().

Win32::API 0.75 now has some support for Perl 5.6.2.
