Don't call Win32::GUI::Dialog many times.

Create the windows, populate them, show them, and then call Win32::GUI::Dialog once. This is the main loop which runs until any event handler returns -1.

As it is now, the code will put up a window, wait for you to close it, then look at the next line.

Personally, I'd create a single window and add rows to a text area or something like that.

(If in the future you want to do something like tail -f you need to poll file handles IO::Select. Set up a timer to check if there's anything to read.)

Other resources

I think you need to read an intro to Win32::GUI, especially how event handlers work and how window names relate to them (this is a bit clunky in Win32::GUI).

There's a mailing list which may be able to provide better answers: win32-gui-users

There's a half finished tutorial which covers the basics about gui programming with Win32::GUI.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
