I'm sorry that you had so much difficulty getting in touch with me. I should get mail at any/all of my published addrsses (robertmay@cpan.org being the most relevant here). I'm also sorry that you're having difficulties with the installation - Perl 5.6.1 is still supported (just - it's many years old now), and I have a ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 installation here that appears to work just fine. If you could join and re-post a summary of your problem to perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net, then I'm sure that we can help you out - that's where most of the support for this module takes place. [I'll also email you as you requested] Regards, Rob.
