IOW did you have an associated DOS window or did you use wperl?
They are usual cmd.exe console window and perl.exe interpreter. Actually, GUI warnings for CLI tools was long standing issue for libtiff and Windows, e.g. link. Some defines were messed-up in C source, IIRC.
However, I'm glad to stand corrected: as I'm checking now, in Strawberry Perl 5.28.2.1 (libtiff 4.0.7), there are "ugly GUI pop-ups" for warnings with libtiff, but in 5.30.2.1 (libtiff 4.0.10) there are "proper and nice" console messages. They finally fixed it, but not very long ago.
consider sending a patch request to the module's maintainer
when/if I have patch-quality solution, not proof-of-concept/cuff-scribbles code:) If only for a reason, that Inline::C should probably be converted to XS (which I have no experience with) to match Graphics::TIFF source

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
