Vista and Windows 7 have larger default values, but you really need to work out
why you are using so many GDI objects. It shouldn't be that high...

I do a lot of GDI drawing and have no leaking GDI objects (I hope!). As long as
the object (pen, font etc) goes out of scope after you've used it then the GDI
handle will be freed. For example, say you do something like this (sudo code):
my $pen = new Win32::GUI::Pen( -color => [ rand()*255,
rand()*255, rand()*255 ], -width => rand()*5, );
%pens{$pen} = $pen; #do some drawing undef $pen;
The pen is stored in a global hash, and therefore will never be deleted.
I also find creating and destroying GDI objects has performance implications
(Windows not perl) so I tend to store pens, brushes, fonts in objects so I can
just reuse them. You should be able to reuse GDI objects across windows (as
long as the window and object were created in the same thread).

Personally I've always had 'issues' with Perl 5.10.x which is why I have stuck
with with 5.8.x - I have been meaning to try 5.12 but have never got round to
it.
