I'm trying to get started with Win32 GUI. When I run the sample

Lawrence,
It's difficult to be exact without more information, but it looks like
your installation is not complete. Win32::GUI is an 'XS' module, that
requires a DLL to be loaded (in your case perl is trying to load it from
C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/GUI/GUI.dll, but it s not finding it).
What version of Win32::GUI, what version of perl (perl -v will tell
you), what OS (Win95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP ... )?
Where did you get the source or binary distribution of Win32::GUI from,
and how did you install it? Did you follow the instructions in the
README? Did you see any errors when performing the build and/or
installation?
Regards,
Rob.
