Thanks a lot. I used to be an ActiveState customer. Recently I switched to Strawberry

Well, Win32 is a CPAN module too.

(For example in the Win32::GUI module when I speak to the System Tray a bubble pops up which makes a noise - I don't want this noise).

The audible alert is a OS user interface feature, not an application feature. That is, a windows user can elect to turn off audible alerts -- it's about the first thing I do when I do a new install -- or not. But it is, and should be, the application users choice to have audible alerts, not the application writers.

Ceterum censeo there is a need to do it myself and make API calls directly through XS code.

Learning XS is not a bad thing to do. Though you may well find it a frustrating exercise.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
