[perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
Is there a known memory problem with the GUI module and/or the Timer object? I have a script that runs through a _Timer sub once per second and increments a var (like $count++) and writes it to a Label. Just sitting there quietly doing nothing more than that adds 4k to the process' memory every second or two (or three -- it's not very exact). I would expect a *little* more memory to be used but these 4k's add up over time. Just curious. Pete

I've tried to install via ppm from the zip file but always get "Could not locate a PPD" error. Can someone send the syntax on how to do this?

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
Unzip to (example) c:\gui\. cd c:\gui. type: c:\>ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd Basically, you leave out the location part and actually cd to that folder from your shell. make sure you put the file extension, so that ppm knows to load it from the local machine instead of getting it from a repository. As I said, I had to do this at my old job and was able to install 10+ modules in this manner on 7 machines. BUT, one other thing to note is what version of PERL are you running? 5.005_3 does not have a ppd file for Win32::GUI 0.0.558 and ( Someone correct me if I am wrong) you cannot build Win32::GUI 0.0.558 under the older builds of Perl. This MAY be why you got the 0.0.502 version since the ppm can tell what version of Perl you have and install the appropriate module. If you have perl 5.6+, you should be able to "ppm install Win32::GUI" and it will install correctly from the AS repository. If not, you are probably limited to 0.0.502 unless you upgrade. > -Original Message- > From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 09:15 > To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak? > > > I've tried to install via ppm from the zip file but always > get "Could not > locate a PPD" error.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
Ah, yes, now that you mention it - I found the same thing. So I just downloaded the zip file, unzipped in a directory I use for modules that cannot be installed automatically, and then manually copied some things to the real Perl tree. I still use the the unzipped package for documentation. I'd be interested to know how to create a PPD file, though. What should be in it? Anyone?

Joe, Thanks I found it!

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
That file is the source code and would have to be installed using the following steps: cd to the folder you unziped to: perl makefile.pl nmake nmake test nmake install This assumes you have nmake. If not, you can get it from MS ftp. I dont know exactly where it is now, but you could go to MS site and perform a search. OR... http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/win32-gui.zi p. THIS contains the ppd file for install. 1) unzip 2) cd to foldery where you unziped files 3) type "ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd" Can you not install any packages via ppm? If you can, as I said earlier, you can just install directly from AS repository by typeing "ppm install Win32-GUI" and it will download from AS and install. If you CANNOT ppm from AS ( and I doubt it unless you have the wrong installation path in your ppm config) then take off the file name from the URL above and you will see ALL the 6xx build packages available for local ppm install. > -Original Message- > From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 10:25 > To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak? > > > Joe, thanks for all your help but, man I'm getting nowhere fast!

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
Hi The Win32::GUI 0.558 PPD was created by me (I'm the Packager you know ;-) ). I also managed to get ActiveState to update their PPM server with it so you can get the current version from there. (It does seem to work from inside a firewall, you just need to set the environment variables right.) There's some good information about creating PPMs on Jenda's site at http://jenda.krynicky.cz/perl/PPM.html (Thanks again Aldo!) They are fairly easy to do, basically you need a couple of things : 1) Source of module 2) Compiler to build the module Build the source like this : perl Makefile.pl nmake ppd Move the blib directory structure produced by this to a directory like MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\ and then tar up the whole thing and call it something sensible like Module-SubModule-versionnumber-PPM.tar. (Win32-GUI-0.0.558-PM.tar for example) Now gzip the tar file. (Try http://www.gzip.org/ for gzip for Windows) Now you must create a .ppd file which describes it. Jenda's site has detailed information but check the .ppd file which is bundled with my 0.558 PPM it's pretty simple. Major thing to remember is the use of unix style slashes for directory paths, ie somepath/somotherpath NOT somepath\someotherpath. Caught me out for a while ! Once you have the gzipped tar file and the ppd file, create a zip file called Module-SubModule-versionnumber-PPM.zip containing the ppd and the gzipped file. OK, it should now work. It took me some time playing about to get it going at first but once you've done one it gets easier. BTW - The reason that there are no docs in the PPM file for 0.558 is because at the time the docs were very incomplete. I could create a PPM with the docs included, but isn't someone on this list maintaining them on a web site somewhere ? Anyway, if you're *REALLY* stuck for a CPAN or other module making into a PPM drop me a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll offer any help I can. (I'd rather help you do it than do it for you of course ! ;-)) Cheers Paul *** Important. This E-mail is intended for the above named person and may be confidential and/or legally privileged.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
The zip thing worked!!! That's terrific except that scripts that used to
work no longer do. Bummer. I get this kind of an error:
"Your vendor has not defined Win32::GUI macro Category, used at..." (see
below snippet)
What's this about a macro? I get what it means but can someone point me
towards which doc describes this change in functionality? In 0.0.558 do I
need to declare these "macros" or something? Here's a snippet of what it is
complaining about (works with 0.0.502):
##
$Window->AddCombobox(
-name => Category,
-left => 105,
-top=> 5,
-width => 45,
-height => 100,
-style => WS_VISIBLE | 2 | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL |
ES_AUTOHSCROLL,
-tabstop => 1,
);
$Window->Category->InsertItem("");
foreach (@category)
{
chomp($_);
$Window->Category->InsertItem("$_");
}
#
THanks for everyone's help.
Pete

Not sure, but try changing:

to
$Window->AddCombobox(
-name => "Category",
-left => 105,
-top=> 5,
-width => 45,
-height => 100,
-style => WS_VISIBLE | 2 | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL
|ES_AUTOHSCROLL,

I have not worked with this module long enough, but that kind of sticks
out in my mind as being a bareword.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are using Perl 5.005 , then Win32::GUI version 502 (the latest version for perl 5.005) is the version that you will receive on a PPM install, because 558 is for Perl 5.6. I'm a little confused on this myself, because I've seen a couple of statements regarding the versions, but from I can tell, this is the case. Hope this helps (and if i'm wrong, feel free to correct me ;) ) -Michael Forhan -Original Message- From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 6:17 AM To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32::GUI::Timer memory leak?
