Hello Monkz !

Now I have (to me at least) a very strange problem ...

Let's say i do this : 

use strict ; 
use warnings ;
use Win32  ; 
$SIG{ __DIE__ } = sub { Win32::MsgBox ("Error :  @_" ,  0, $0 )  } ; 
die "ARRG" ;

[download]
When i run this from the command line i get a single warning pop up .

Now if use PAR with :

pp -gui tt.pl -o tt.exe

Then the exe will yield the pop up windows but i will have to click 4 times "OK" to get rid of it !

I'm under XP SP2 ActiveState 5.8. Why, oh, why ??

Update : I thought i should elaborate on why i do this : running an exe with the -gui option is much nicer to the user since it will not launch a "useless" background cmd window. but on the other end it will hide all the error message into nowheresville, unless of course i redirect stderr to a file, but still : it seems better if the error is shown immediatly, hence the MsgBox . Along with this I present the result by calling notepad on a temporary file. This allows me to have a simple "only graphical" interface without using Tk .
