[perl-win32-gui-users] Perl Compiler Recommendation Needed for Win32-GUI/ActivePerl

[Eric Hansen]

Can some folks recommend to me a PERL compiler vendor/version that they
are
Getting to work fine on Windows XP and backward compatible
With Windows 2000 professional/98SE? 

Please supply binary build version of Win32-GUI and
ActiveState/ActivePerl tested with this compiler.

I am seeing problems with my PERL apps compiled with an older version of
IndigoStar PERL compiler 5.03.  I am using Win32-GUI 1.02 and ActivePerl
5.6.1 multi-thread on Windows XP.  

Win32 Message Boxes are showing up blank?
IndigoStar does not know what is wrong and recommends I purchase a newer
compiler.

SAMPLE CODE:

use Win32::GUI;

$M = new Win32::GUI::Menu(
    "&File"     => "File",
    " > E&xit"  => "Exit",
    "&Help"     => "Help",
    " > &About - My Application" => "About",
);

$W = new GUI::Window(
    -title    => "My Application",
    -left     => 100,
    -top      => 150,
    -width    => 600,
    -height   => 200,
    -menu     => $M,
    -name     => "Window",
    -style    => ws_sysmenu
);

$W->Show();
$W->BringWindowToTop();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();  

sub Exit_Click {
   return -1;   
}

sub About_Click {
   Win32::GUI::DoEvents();
   $W->InvalidateRect(1);
   Win32::GUI::MessageBox($W,"This is a Sample Application",
                          "About - My Application v1.0",64,);
   $W->BringWindowToTop();
   Win32::GUI::DoEvents();
   $W->InvalidateRect(1);
}
