I've been the current maintainer of [0]Win32::API for some years now. I
am proud to be working on such a useful module, at least for Windows
people. I even managed once to build it under Linux/winegcc.

Lately, I've been receiving user requests about porting it to 64-bit
architectures. While this is something I want to do, I might have some
problems. Mainly, my lack of knowledge about porting 32-bit stuff to
64-bits under Windows. Luckily, there seems to be available information
and enough interested users that can provide help, code, hardware and/or
licenses.

So, if you are in any way interested in helping out or staying tuned on
the 64-bit port of Win32::API, please join the [1]libwin32 mailing list.
I'm going to post some more details there.
