regarding Win32::GUI, it isn't at all intentional ;-)
I released a binary distro to the Perl-Win32-GUI mailing list just to
help testers without a compiler testing it, then I was very busy for some
days taking care of my health, and then, you know, I can't keep my hands
off the keyboard, so in the mean time I've made further changes to the
source code, some of them being very "hacky", so that now it requires
a strong cleaning before being really useable by anybody except me, and I
can't literally sit in front of my computer for more than 10/15 minutes
continuatively... all this led to this situation, that I hope to resolve
as soon as possible ;-)
but don't worry, there's absolutely no such trend from my side,
everything I write is and will always be wholeheartedly donated to the
Perl community without any limitation.
you know, I'm even happy to have received so many requests for the source
code of Win32::GUI, it means people are wanting to dig and not only to
use, and that they learn from there, as I've done with other's
extensions.
long live to Perl and open source ;-)
