    Hi,

    GWL_USERDATA is defined as -21 in winuser.h.
    Near the beginning of scintilla.xs, immediately following the line: 
    #include "./include/Scintilla.h"

    [download]
    I would insert: 
    #ifndef GWL_USERDATA
#define GWL_USERDATA (-21)
#endif

    [download]
    I don't think that insertion will create any problems. If it does, then we probably start to think that the GWL_USERDATA definition was skipped in the strawberry build for a very good reason.

    Anyway, see how that goes - and if it fixes the problem, maybe ask the Strawberry developers (by posting to the strawberry mailing list) just how/why it is that their winuser.h definition of GWL_USERDATA is being skipped for Strawberry Perl.

    Cheers,
    Rob
