I have followed the civilized portion of this discussion these last couple of days, and I do have to say that when I first began with this module, I was very frustrated with only having the few examples as documentation. I still have times when I cannot find the answer to what I need - one such time being this last week when I was trying to translate one of my report programs from C++ to Perl, but I cannot get the date format in the DateTimePicker (datetime) like I have it in the C++ version.
I am not criticizing anyone's work, but I can see times when the documentation just doesn't cover what I need (Sometimes I can figure it out, and sometimes I can't). So I would like to volunteer whatever I know if anyone else is receptive to the idea of augmenting the documentation. I have been working with Win32::GUI for about one and a half years, and I have a few examples (very few original, but a few times I have been able to augment what I've found elsewhere). I would really like it to include examples such as the very nice examples of the animated windows I saw in this group not long ago (I doubt I would ever have figured out how to use the GUI module in conjunction with the Win32::API module like that). Is anyone else interested in augmenting the documentation for this module (without criticizing the documentation and examples that currently exist) - If so, I'll contribute whatever I have, and take assignments from the organizer to the extent that I can, but I cannot organize or drive the effort. Without gushing with emotion one way or the other, does the rest of the group think such an augmentation would be helpful?

The only source, IS the source package ! eg find this file Win32-GUI-0.0.665.tar.gz Has docs AND samples, what more could you want ? Also, Thank you Mr Calpini for your module, I cant thankyou enough!.
