$tmpwin isn't a pakcakge or object reference.

So, on to the WM_PRINT event method. If I cant do:

        $tempwin->GetDC();

because its a scalar, and

        Win32::GUI:GetDC($tempwin);

doesnt seem to be able to find GetDC in the Win32::GUI package, how can I find the DC for the scalar $tempwin entry? (I picked a bad week to give up smoking AND caffeine)

  Win32::GUI::DC::GetDC($tempwin);
