The docs have been much improved - are you sure you have got the updated
versions? A while ago Steve and Laurent went through and updated or added
most (if not all) function, methods and events.
The introduction, and tutorials could be improved though:)
I'm in the process of writing one, but it's not that near completion at the
moment though.
At the moment the samples are only included with the source - perhaps it's
worth including them with the binary too?
Most certainly, since most people will be using the PPM.
Once V1 is built and on sourceforge, it would be a good idea to do a bit
of a 'marketing' blitz and hit the various newsgroups and websites
(perlmonks, activestate etc) and inform people that a new version is
available. How do we get V1 added to the activestate repositories?
I think they autobuild the PPMs on a regular basis, and the modules that
pass their test suite are included.
So, if Win32::GUI builds on a "nmake test", it should replace 0.0.558.
I'm also of the view that you can never have enough examples:) So perhaps
it's an idea to call for more examples, perhaps with a set of goals in
mind (a couple of examples per control, "advanced" concepts, full
applications etc )?
The purpose of my tutorial would be to demo a small but complete
application with "best practices" of building and packaging a GUI app,
while avoiding lots of globals, etc.
The alpha is at:

Including the original Word file if you want to add or change anything.
