Short version: When a Cancel/Terminate event returns -1 during Win32::GUI::DoEvents(), how can we percolate that up to the previous DoModal() instance?
Long version: When the script is waiting for user input via DoModal and the user clicks Cancel or Terminates the window, we return -1 to mean "close the window, and unwrap the stack to the calling DoModal() instance." But what do you do when you have a processing loop that checks for events via Win32::GUI::DoEvents, and the user clicks Cancel or Terminate then? The -1 returns to the DoEvents call, not all the way up to the DoModal call. At first glance it looks like we need to $win->Hide, but that will leave the app in a tough state -- the dialog is still active, but not visible, and the parent window can't be reached by the user.
