First off, thanks for sending along this code. I just wish I could run it.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the Win32::GUI module to install. I've tried
installing it before (with the results below). I'm using the Gurusamy port
of Perl, primarily because it comes with all of the "standard" modules,
which I've noticed ActiveState does *not*.
In any case, I installed the AS version also, and I figured since they are
considered to be the "Win32 Perl Standard" now, that Win32::GUI would be
pre-installed. In fact, it's not even available from AS via the PPM. The
more I use the AS version of Perl for Win32, the more disappointed I become.
It's too bad that Gurusamy Sarathy is no longer creating his own ports -- I
believe he works for AS now.
So, to make a long story short, does anyone have any insight on how to make
the GUI module install properly? The documentation that comes with the
module is sparse at best.
