Re^5: Best/Fast/Simple way to add a GUI to a batch process

It seems that if I take the Win32::GUI way, I'll have to coninue the development on a 32 bit WinXP VM to get a running app in EXE format.

Win32::FileOP was the module that wouldn't install on 64 bit Perl, not Win32::GUI. You posted this after I posted this example of how to do a File-Save dialog on 64 bit Perl so maybe you didn't notice but Win32::GUI works for 64 bit Perl. Another option is to use the portable version of 32 bit Strawberry Perl on whatever machine you want to use. The 32 bit version of Perl runs on 64 bit Windows machines.

I didn't test that version because I didn't notice the real difference from the original example. Thanks also for pointing that out. I'm still thinking what will I do: to modify my code to add the GUI part or to write a wrapper for it. Either way, I need more examples to identify the things I need... I've never developed GUIs in Windows, just traced and debugged them, but I'm not sure how are all that stuff named!!! An ancient newbie ;-)	[reply]
