well, the module needs compilation: you need not only make, but
also a compiler. Micro$oft VisualC++ is not free, it should be
possible to use cygwin's gcc but I haven't played with it
very much. if you want to test it, you're very welcome.
you need to download the Perl source and compile it under your
cygwin environment, then try to compile the module.

the lists are scheduled to archive weekly, so I guess you have
to wait (at least) a week for the archives :-)
also note that past message (from the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailing list), unfortunately, will not be archived in the same
place.

yes, it is. but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the new address
for posting instead:
perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net
everybody who was subscribed to the old list should have been
subscribed to the new one (thanks Joe! :-), you should have
received a message with the subject:

if you are subscribed to this list and didn't receive this
message, please contact either me or Joe ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
