Was there any update of frm2pl.pl since beta 220?

I've tried it against one form in a VB program I made some time ago 
and didn't get very good results.

The script completely missed all ClientHeight, ClientLeft etc 
variables and created a window of null size. It misses BeginProperty
completely, it misses most options even though some of them would be 
legal in Win32::GUI. It even fails to convert the comments from VB 
to Perl syntax.

Some of these are easy to fix, others would need a near complete 
rewrite. Was there anything happening in this field?

I was even thinking that maybe it would be cool to include even the 
perl code in the .frm you create with VB. Maybe using two single 
quotes or '# :

Private Sub Window_Activate()
'' Paint();
'' $x++;
End Sub
 
==>

sub Window_Activate {
 paint();
 $x+;
}


This way you could still edit the form using VB and then just 
regenerate the perl script.
