Re^2: What should i install to use GUI in windows 8(x64) Strawberry or Activeperl

...and is not found in the Active State repo for 5.018...

Looks like ActiveState is claiming to have Win32::GUI version 1.11 available in their repositories for 5.16, 5.18 and 5.20 versions of ActivePerl. (see here)

...suggests the package may not be under active development?

Actually, looking at Win32::GUI shows that the latest version (1.11) was released Nov. 8, 2014. Looking at the version history, looks like KMX took over the module and put out version 1.07 back in October 2014. Although KMX has taken over as maintainer of the Win32::GUI module on CPAN, that may not also be true of the Win32::GUI project on SourceForge.

I'm not going to claim that Win32::GUI is the "best" module for making GUIs on Windows. Just wanted to point out that Win32::GUI has a new maintainer and has had new releases in the past 4 months.

Thanks, dasgar, for the good news about the new Ver. and maintainer. But AS/PPM in action here don't conform to the chart in the parent: `C:\>ppm install Win32::GUI ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Win32::GUI C:\>perl -v This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for MSWin32-x +86-multi-thread-64int (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) ... Binary build 1802 [298023] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveSt +ate.com Built Apr 14 2014 15:40:28` [download] Even the 1.09 available for 64bit might help ppp, if that's the root of the question.
