Thanks for sharing your experience. I went to remove the one I installed from ActiveState, and reinstall from the inventor:
C:> ppm install --location=http://dada.perl.it/PPM Win32::GUI Installing package 'Win32-GUI'... Bytes transferred: 165087 Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.bs Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.dll Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.exp Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\GUI.lib Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI.pm Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\BitmapInline.pm Installing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\GridLayout.pm Writing D:\local\Perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI\.packlist Looks like no samples/docs came with the install. I went ahead to get this http://dada.perl.it/Win32-GUI-0.0.558.tar.gz and found some samples/docs inside. I'll start from there. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 12:32 PM To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] newbie's question I asked the same thing not long ago. The general concensus was that Tk might be a better choice because it is cross-platform. Then I ran into a ton of problems installing Tk, so I just went with Win32::GUI becuase I *could* get that to install and I haven't looked back... A bunch of samples come with the download of the module. Pull it down from Aldo's site, though, not Activestate's -- they have done some wierd renumbering of his versions and, from what I hear, makes updates a bit of a pain. Enjoy and Good luck. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chen, Jerry G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 12:22 PM > To: 'perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] newbie's question > > > Hi, > > I'd like to write some GUI-based perl app on Win32 platform. > > Which one is easier/simpler to use: Tk or Win32::GUI?
