Hi, I wouldn't use the Activestate Repository for win::gui - there are later versions available on the sourceforge site - you will have to manually install the module:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-win32-gui/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16572&package_id=12884 for perl 5.6 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16572&package_id=104184 for perl 5.8 If you want to use a repository, have a look at http://perso.club-internet.fr/rocherl/Win32GUI.html it also contains the latest versions.

For this I came across this Win32::GUI module and feel its very easy to use. However I'm having trouble with it and was hoping someone could help me since posts in forums etc havent been much help. I thought mailing here directly would be the best thing to do. Firstly i downloaded the package but when i say ppm install Win32-GUI i get an error as follows: Error: No valid repositories; Error 500 Can't connect to ppm.Activestate.com:80 (connect: Unknown error) at D:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Repository.pm line 84 Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm-ia.Activestate.com:80 (connect: Unknown error) at D:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/Repository.pm line 84 I feel either there is something wrong with my pre-instaled modules or im doing something wrong, but have no idea what it is. Also if i try to run a simple script to make a window with one button or any other script that uses this module I get the following error: Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::GUI in @INC (@INC contains D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at GUI.pl line 1 Compilation failed in require at GUI.pl line 1 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at GUI.pl line 1 Once again I think i'm not sure why this error is coming. I did copy the GUI.pm file in all the directories specified. Please tell me what else I should do. I am in a hurry and need to start developing soon which wont take time once this problem is solved. I am hoping someone would reply to be as soon as possible. Any suggestions/help/advise to put me onto track would be much appreciated! Thank you for your time.
