Not sure if this is a resend, I needed to subscribe to this list:
I am trying to use Win32::API to import by prototype only;
of the functions I have tried the ones with type LPTSTR fail;
I would like to just use the prototypes because if its packing functions
Win32::API::Struct and Win32::API::Type - see the example in API.pm

example

use Win32::API;

#DWORD GetTempPath(
#  DWORD ccBuffer, 
#  LPTSTR lpszBuffer
#); 

#Win32::API-> Import("kernel32", "DWORD GetTempPath(DWORD ccBuffer, LPTSTR lpszBuffer)",);
#this fails and causes generic a windows error when GetTempPath() is called

Win32::API-> Import('kernel32', 'GetTempPath', 'NP', 'N');
#this of course works, but I would like to use the prototype
#the example at the end of API.pm demonstrates using the prototype

$lpszBuffer = " " x 80;
GetTempPath(80, $lpszBuffer);

print $lpszBuffer;
