http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/Win32-API-0.41.zip
Or, better yet, use ppm to install it for you:
ppm install Win32-API
Copy \spider\perl\BPQConnect.pm to the \spider\local directory
The following bit about bpqperl.dll is NOT neaded if you are using the
Latest (409u) BPQ32.
copy bpqperl.dll to your windows directory. I had problems with
WIN32::API calling the GetData routine of the BPQ API, so had to
create this 'glue' routine. Hopefully I can solve the problem and get
rid of this extra routine soon.
Edit BPQConnect.pm as appropriate - you may need to change ApplMask and BPQStreams.

Although running spider will dynamically load BPQ32 if it is not
already running, it seems to function very slowly. I suggest you load
already running, it does not function correctly. I suggest you load
BPQ32 before starting spider. If you are already running any other bpq
applications thats fine, otherwise run bpq32.exe, or better still
bpqterminal, so you can monitor what is going on.

been able to test it with a very old DOS based AK1A system. See sample
connect script below:
Use command set/debug bpq from a sysop session to enable extra debug output

abort Downlink|Fail
# the '1' is for compatibility with agw and is ignored
connect bpq 1 switch
'BPQ:GM8BPQ' 'c gb7bpq'

client gb7bpq bpq
Use command "set/debug bpq" from a sysop session to enable extra debug
output.
Remember this is very much 'alpha' software!
