Please do the needful.

Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge there is not a Win32::API 64 bit edition.

I have both of the following installed on my 64bit Vista system
FWIW, the contents of each lib\win32api are identical
I quit using Perl64 since it was lacking common ODBC drivers. ie: Microsoft Access. Also, the 64 bit version did not buy me anything except incompatibility and missing drivers. I have not made any API calls in perl (yet) so I cant really help you. The 32 bit perl version seems to work fine and my code runs under ubuntu without any changes (so far).

perl 5.10 has a 64 bit PPM repository, earlier versions of perl running on 64 bit OS don't. I would be careful having two installs of perl on a Windows box, things could get very confusing down the road.
