I admit it, I'm a MAME addicted :-) the apps that I like the best in Win32::GUI are PMX and PodView; I use them whenever I need to browse installed modules and view the documentation (and this happens very often :-). > It would be very nice if someone out there who knows a little C++ would make > a program similar to perl2exe and distribute it in the public domain.

I thought about something similar sometime ago; I mean, not writing a full blown script-compiler (don't think I have the guts yet), but a simple wperl.exe that starts without any console. Gurusamy Sarathy told me it wasn't a good idea, because you have to distribute a Perl binary with all the problems connected (versioning, compatibility, etc.); and it seems that the community doesn't like custom Perl binaries at all ... but then, I think that if we find it useful for us, we can dwelve it :-) Kevin Meltzer wrote: > I don't believe you can lose that pesky console window (yet).
