RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Compiled Win32::GUI scripts?
I haven't tried the latest version of perl2exe (last time I used it was about 2 years ago) but at that time it didn't support icon's so on windows you always got this weird looking icon for all your exe's you created with it. I also found that while it worked OK for win32::gui it would choke on a lot of others. I've used PerlApp pretty happily for 2 years now. The only problem I have with perlapp is that there appears to be a problem where the text or bitmap associated with a button does not show up as it should. Pushing the button will get it to appear though. I've not yet been able to track the problem down. It never occures on the machine you compiled on with PerlApp nor does it occure when you just run the perl app as c: perl PerlApp.pl. It only occures on a machine other than the one you compiled the PerlApp on. Other than that one oddity with PerlApp, I'd take it over perl2exe.

I have been using perl2exe for several years. The latest version on perl2exe supports icons, filestamps, and more. I have used it to compile a plethera of scripts ranging from win32 gui apps to dos apps and have had great success. In my opinion, it rocks over the other choices.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Compiled Win32::GUI scripts?
Lee, I have a simple solution for you: use niPerl: http://www.numeninest.com/Perl/ After installing niPerl you simply right-click on a .pl file in your Explorer window and select Convert to Exe... and magically your single exe file appears in the same directory. No external compiler, make utility, or convoluted command lines are needed. I use niPerl to edit/build my Win32::GUI apps into stand-alone exe's which run fine on any other Win32 machine. The resulting exe file is bloated (approx 3MB) but to have all the goodness of perl built into it is worth it. niPerl is a full Win32 build of perl 5.6 including most common CPAN modules and Win32 modules. niPerl allows you to execute a .pl file just by double-clicking on it. niPerl also includes perl documentation and the very slick SciTE editor for editing perl scripts (you can also right-click edit .pl and .pm files). Install is simple, just like installing any other Windows app. I love it. I've also scripted Win32::GUI apps under Cygwin and tried perlcc for making exe's... but did not have much success producing stable executables.

You then have to handle all the keyboard/mouse navigation, and handle moving menus into a drop-down from the rebar chevron (which is displayed when the rebar becomes too small to display all the buttons). Coolbar.pm wraps all this functionality into a simple to use API that takes a standard Win32::GUI menu definition (as you would pass to MakeMenu()). I intend to add capabilities for standard toolbars and chevrons to the package.

RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] no alarm() in Win32, any work-arounds?
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows XP Home SP2 and results are
different: the $ua-get( 'http://deadmachine/' ) method waits and waits
until some other timeout (operating system default?) of around 20 seconds
before giving up. The $ua-timeout(2) setting is ignored. Running the same
code under Cygwin works fine but that doesn't do much good outside Cygwin.
Observations of other perl features not working in Win32 : Windows XP:
- fork() doesn't work, try using Win32::Process or Win32::Job for similar
feature
- alarm() doesn't work, trying using Win32::Process w/ Wait(), or
Win32::Job() with a time counter in watch() function, or Win32::GUI::Timer
although none of these is quite as detached and asynchronous as alarm()
- IO::Socket::INET { Blocking = 0 } (asynschronous network IO) doesn't
work, by default all network IO in Win32 is blocking (synchronous) meaning a
listening socket will hold up the entire application until input is received
and connection closed or the socket timeout occures.
Oddly enough IO::Socket::INET { Timeout = whatever } is working in Windows
XP and the socket goes away in the defined amount of timeout... somehow that
timeout works but other timeouts such as LWP::UserAgent's don't.
Thanks,
Kurt

I've used LWP::UserAgent on W2K Pro and Advanced Server, and the timeout
seems to work fine for me.
I've also had success using alarm, but I was only testing to see if it
worked, not trying it as a sanity timer (which is what a timeout would be).
my $uagent = LWP::UserAgent-new;
$uagent-timeout(2);
my $response = $uagent-get ('http://192.168.0.1/default.html');
if (!$response-is_success) {
print uagent error: . $response-status_line . \n;
return;
}
I hope this helps!

I'm working on a simple network monitor that periodically checks HTTP
service on a list of machines. I'm using LWP::UserAgent which offers a
timeout setting but timeout is ignored in Win32, so attempting a connection
to dead machine makes your program wait (in blocking mode, no less, seems
non-blocking IO is not an option either) for up to a minute. I've tried
Win32::PingICMP to test the machine for upness before attempting an HTTP
connection but ICMP is blocked on some the machines being tested, and also
does not help if the machine is up but HTTP server is down.
Thanks,
Kurt
What where you planning on using the alarm function for? I can think of a
potential work around, but it would depend on what you were planning:)
Cheers,
jez.
