I can duplicate the problem and the solution. I don't understand why
the presented solution solves the problem.
Both Win32 and Win32::GUI export a set of constants by default (this, by
the way, will change if a future Win32::GUI release), and some of the
constants are the same. I would expect to get those warnings (and they
are warnings, not errors) whichever way round you put the use statements.
A better way to fix the problem is to get the 2 modules to
only export the constants that you really want, by listing them in the
use statement. For example, if you're not using any of the exported
constants, turn them off:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32();
use Win32::GUI();

Rob.
