You just need to install the Win32 module which is one of the modules
that makes up libwin ....  umm .... that may not be quite correct -
Win32 *used* to be part of libwin, but it is now (with perl 5.8.5) part
of perl core. If you have perl5.8.5 you'll already have it - otherwiae
you'll need to install it, and the simplest way of doing that is to
install libwin.

use warnings;
use Win32;

Win32::MsgBox("Hello World");

__END__

See 'perldoc Win32' for more information regarding that function.
