There I was hapilly sitting on my RedHat 7 box programming away in perl when it beckoned me. "Put perl on me!" it said. "You can use my 600Mhz processor and my 160Megs of RAM. My 17" LG monitor wants code. You know you want to" it added, tempting me.
So I did it, I put perl on my Windows box/gateway. I played, I had fun. I frolicked without fork(). I re-arranged the registry. I wised up on Win32::GUI and it didn't work. Thats right, it didn't work.

I don't know why but whenever I try to run a Win32::GUI perl app I get either a BSOD or a "This program has performed an illegal operation...."
Now I come to you, perlmonks, with my problem. What do I do? Is there a patch (apart from formatting and installing linux)? I even tried using the perl2exe program from IndigoStar Software and compiled my programs. Nothing changed. By the way I'm using IndigoPerl.

Thanks in advance for any help :)
