I'm trying to implement Selenium IE Driver bindings in Perl. This module
works fine under 32-bit mode but in 64-bit mode it crashes with the 64-
bit IE dll.

My environment:

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Perl: ActivePerl 64-bit v5.10
Win32::API v0.64
Selenium IE Driver DLL:
http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cpp/prebuilt/x64/Release/IEDriv
er.dll

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1) Download the IEDriver.dll from the link above.
2) Use this script to start a simple IE Driver server:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::API;

my $start = Win32::API->new('IEDriver.dll', 'StartServer', 'I', 'P',
'_cdecl');
my $server = $start->Call(4444);

BTW, this same script on a 32-bit Windows with Perl (32-bit) &
Win32::API works as expected. The crash happens only in Perl 64-bit on
Windows 7.

Can you try the latest version of Win32::API 0.72 from CPAN and see if
it fixes your problem?

Try 2. The current version is 0.74 on CPAN.
