As of October 20, Strawberry Perl is out!

http://strawberryperl.com/

It comes in two varieties: 5.10.0.3 and 5.8.8.3.

One caveat - you can only install it to the C or D drive, and there is 
a separate download for each option. (But you could build it yourself 
and put it anywhere you want if that limitation really bothers you.)

Win32::GUI builds cleanly out of the box with 5.10.0.3, thanks to work 
done earlier by Laurent Rocher. (At least, I think that's who did the 
work to make Win32::GUI build with dmake instead of Visual Studio.)

I even ran a few of the test scripts in the demo folder, and they run 
fine. (By the way, I got the error 'Can't call method "STORE" on an 
undefined value during global destruction' when exiting Notepad.pl.)

To install Win32::GUI on Strawberry Perl:

Run the CPAN client. (It can be found in c:\strawberry\perl\bin\, but 
there's also a Strawberry Perl item in the start menu from which you can 
run the CPAN client.)

In the client, type 'install ExtUtils::FakeConfig' and hit enter.

When that's done, type 'install Win32::GUI' and hit enter.

That's all there is to it.
