I am sorry for not being clear. The main API you need to interface with Win32API is the Win32 Module.
To deal with Windows Registry, you have to use Win32::TieRegistry module. To deal with Windows Services, you have to use Win32::Service module. If you want to perform Windows NT network administration stuff, you can use Win32::NetAdmin and Win32::NetResource modules, which I think comes by default installation of Perl. Howerver, Win32::Lanman module is very powerful and is not available with PPM. You have to go to http://www.roth.net or search on google for Win32::Lanman. That module as well as Win32::NetAdmin and Win32API::Net interface with Windows NT Lanmanager. Just go through the documentation of Win32 and Win32API to find lots of interesting things that you can do.
