OK, That fits with what I said about a binary incompatibility between
ActivePerl 5.8.6 and ActivePerl 5.8.7 - It's generally not noticeable,
but if you try to run an extension built with ActivePerl builds between
813 and 817 against an earlier 5.8 perl installation you might see this
problem. Unfortunately Win32-GUI 1.05 is build against ActivePerl build
813.
My recommendation would be to upgrade your Perl installation to at least
ActivePerl 5.8.7 (build 813). If you really can't do this, then let me
know and I'll build you a special release that shouldn't have this problem.
Thanks for the report, I'll ensure that future releases don't suffer
from this problem.
Regards,
Rob.
