Yes, this is true. I use Win32::GUI::DoEvents() in a while loop to work through the events. The Win32::GUI::Timer is to update the contents of a DialogBox which is on top of a window which uses the Win32::GUI::Dialog() method for user interaction. In the while loop I do some printing to hard disc and the DialogBox is to show the progress of this action. I found that I needed to call Win32::GUI::DoEvents in the loop otherwise there is no proper updating of the content of the DialogBox, even that there had been a call to Win32::GUI::Dialog() before (to manage the main window). So for me it seems that I have to use Win32::GUI::DoEvents(). You mean that I can't do anything against the timer getting fired twice, instead of once, every second in this context?
