yes.

I would think this is a common problem. If somebody want to process
a file line by line looking for errors they would want to pop up a
window to display the error and then let the user continue on with
the processing.

Yeah, that becomes a pain to deal with each time.
I would think some kind of 'stop and wait' function would exist. You
can popup a message window, ie.
Win32::GUI::MessageBox(0,"Some message","Info",64);
..and that will wait for a button click in the middle of a loop so I would
think you could do this with a user-created window.
