Are you 100% sure you have tried .99 and 1.0? I have had some issues
with ppm not always updating things properly in some cases. Try:
perl -MWin32::GUI -e "print $VERSION";
And see if you get .558. If so, us ppm to remove all the Win32::GUI
stuff, verify by using the command above, and the do a fresh ppm install
of v1.0.
