I agree with Glenn. I don't like MDI applications, I prefer applications that open multiple stand alone windows, so you can see other application windows without minimizing the MDI.

An application can have as many Win32::GUI::Window objects as it finds useful. They can be independently manipulated, Hide and Show methods allow them to be displayed one at a time or all at once, or any combination. Personally, I hate applications that want to take over the whole screen, and then move little windows around inside the thing. The only one I put up with along that line is Adobe Photoshop... I kind of like the pictures to fill up the screen anyway...
