another error when building. i've never been able to build win32::gui
myself, always had to use the ppm module. i have ms vc++ 6 and when i try
and nmake i get this error

        C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -IC:\Perl\lib -IC:\Perl\lib C:
\Perl\lib\ExtUtils/xs
ubpp  -typemap C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils\typemap -typemap typemap GUI.xs
>xstmp.c &&
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -IC:\Perl\lib -IC:\Perl\lib -MExtUtils::Command -e mv
xstmp
.c GUI.cpp
Usage: xsubpp [-v] [-C++] [-except] [-prototypes] [-noversioncheck]

typemap]... f
ile.xs
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop.

funnily enough when i 'perl makefile.pl' i get the same usage message for
xsubpp. is there something wrong with the makefile? seems to work fine when
i try building it on 2000 - i only get this error on 98. could it then be
the command processor? the problem is that if i use ppm whenever i do
Win32::GUI::DoEvents() it crashes.

thanx in advance
