Well, I don't have any ideas on how to fix Win32::GUI but I might have a work-around. Have you thought about using Tk instead? Most likely, it won't do all of the stuff that Win32::GUI could do (if it worked) (although it might do some stuff that Win32::GUI couldn't), and some of the interactions might not be exactly the same as plain, native widgets. It does work well for simple GUI interfaces and widget differences are relatively few and somewhat subtle, so they shouldn't cause much of a problem.

I've used Tk to good effect when I couldn't get Win32::GUI to work. HTH.
