I don't have both systems. What is different between them?
The problem is that one perl script gives different outputs on different
Windows versions: XP and 98(SE).
Both systems have Perl 5.8.817 (ActiveState) and Win32-GUI 1.05
(installed from ppd).
I rewrote the console outputs from both systems (after perl application
started then
I pressed 5 keys Down,a,Right,a,Up):

-------------------------------------------------------
However on Windows 98 (SE) when I start the program on the system which
is just started then at the first time
I have the same as in XP:
but at second and next times I have the following output:
=================
c:\apps\test_kbd.pl
40|115|F4
65|115|F4
39|115|F4
65|115|F4
38|115|F4
=================
and it is repeatable.
Is my problem clearer for you?
Much clearer. You omitted that it only happens after you exit the
application using Alt+F4 - you can run it successfully as many times as
you want if you exit using the mouse.
I can repeat this on Win98. I've not looked into it very hard, and
can't explain why GetKeyboardState() is saying that the F4 key is
pressed when it is not - GetKeyState(VK_F4) shows the same behaviour
too. I'm going to put this down to a Win98 problem - it happens even if
I start notepad, exit notepad using Alt+F4 and then run the script.
