You probably want to set a a Macro to handle the input from the Win App then use Perl to sort throught the results of that output. Maybe? I have seen a lot of post about ADO you may want to look into that. If your serious about learning the Win32 way try this link: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperlwin/ The book could help and they have plenty of example code you can download from their ftp server.
