Hello out there! I've proof-read this post, and feel that I may be asking a lot of questions. I don't mean to. I'm just trying to point out that I have not found really anything yet that has helped me to answer even the most basic questions. I'm perfectly willing to help in putting together a Win32::GUI faq, if this is what's needed. Let me know. And on with the message... I have been trying to get info on Win32::GUI, but have not been able to get a clear picture of what's going on. I try different search engines, but there doesn't seem to be one central site which might answer some of my most basic questions: What's the current release/build number, and what versions of perl does it run under? I see 220, 3**, 4something,... Is there really a ppm-installable package out there? If so, how do I install it? Where do I find it? Why isn't it on ActiveState? Why isn't Win32::GUI on cpan? I've tried the docs for ppm, but I don't know the commands to make it work. (Should I be giving an alternate repository on the command line?) I've tried just dropping the files where I think they should go, but I always get a Parsing Exception. (I'm not yet slick enough to attempt to compile it.) Is there a Win32::GUI faq? If not, I'll be happy to make one and post it someplace, if people will send me questions and answers to these and other questions that they feel should be included in such a doc. Is there an official or unofficial Win32::GUI homepage? All I get is the dada page/s from Italy(?), and they talk about build 220, compiled in 1997. I've seen many refs and docs for more recent builds. I suspect that these resources (central info repositories) do not exist. If that's the case, I'll be happy to help in their creation. Just let me know how. Oh, I did try to look into the archives of this list, but gave up pretty quickly, since they're in a fairly user-unfriendly format, I think. (And the search didn't seem to work the way I expected it to.) If you think that the interface could be improved, that's something I may be willing to work on as well... but have to be pretty non-committal about it at this moment. Any help out there for these super-newbie issues? Thanks, James Tolley
