To create the HTML docs, I run:

perl dodoc.pl
perl dohtml.pl

in Win32-GUI\docs directory - although I've no idea how these files would be included in the PPM:)

Thanks - I was a bit confused by the fact that dodoc.pl seems to have options for building html too.

I've got a PPM built from my local source, and I've made the following changes to what seems to have been done before:

(1) Moved document install from C:\Perl\html\lib\Win32\GUI to C:\Perl\html\site\lib\Win32\GUI. I believe that this is the correct place to install the html files, and results in other documentation generated with pod2html linking to the right pages.

(2) Add the contents of the CVS samples directory to C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\demos (i.e. in a sub directory of the install location, in a directory called demos.) This is consistent with what the Tk package does, but I'd be happy to call it samples if that's the general consensus.

(3) I've added some notes on performing a PPM installation into the Readme.txt file

We need to agree a version number for the next release. I would propose 1.01 - I think that we should be using a 2-digit second part of the version number to be CPAN friendly (See perldoc perlmodstyle), and don't see that there's enough change to justify anything other than incrementing the minor version by the smallest increment.

If we can agree the version numbering issue,. I'd be happy to make a release candidate available from my website.

I'll also write up my notes on building the PPM, so others can do it. I've added a note to my TODO list to look at adding a PPM target to the makefile (so we can just do nmake ppm (or whatever). I've also noticed that many of the document links with a page are broken, but don't have time to explore this further right now.

Regards,
Rob.
