Theoretically, it should be as simple as
	use Win32::GUI qw(MessageBox);
	MessageBox(0, "message", "title", 64);
However, the Win32::GUI module fails to load for me at the moment,
claiming the DLL is not found. I have no time to investigate and create a
proper bug report, but if it works for you -- great.
If you want portability, however, your best bet is to rely on something
that will be found on every system (which libwin32 isn't).
