I just use GUI:: instead of Win32::GUI just as I use ODBC:: instead of
Win32::ODBC. I have had no trouble.
Maybe Aldo can verify this for us.

In his book WINDOWS NT Win32 Perl Programming: The Standard Extensions,
David Roth writes:
"The Win32::ODBC extension's functions also map to another namespace called
ODBC. It is not necessary to always use the full Win32::ODBC namespace when
calling functions or constants. For Example, the following tow function
calls are the same:
@Error = Win32::ODBC::Error();
@Error = ODBC::Error();
Likewise, when you create a new ODBC object, you can use either of the
following:
$db = new Win32::ODBC( "MyDSN" );
$db = new ODBC::( "MyDSN" );
Anywhere that you may need to use the full namespace of the extension, you
instead use the abbreviated version: ODBC."

Simple question. I've notice some folks write code using
Win32::GUI::..
and some folks use:
GUI::..
Does it matter which form you use?
Obviously it's less typing to use the second form, but didn't know
if their was a drawback.
