Win32::GUI: the -style option is deprecated

almaler has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Experts, I am trying to run a script and am receiving this error: "Win32::GUI: the -style option is deprecated". The script does contain the following contents, but I am not familiar with perl scripting at all and do not know if I need to change that line or remove it completely. Could someone point me in the right direction?

my $Window = new Win32::GUI::DialogBox(
    -title  => "Top Secret",
    -left   => 200,
    -top    => 200,
    -width  => 400, 
    -height => 245,
    -name   => "Window",
    -style  => WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU,
);

The documentation for the `-style` common option says: Sets the style for the window. Use of this option is deprecated. Use -pushstyle or -popstyle (or one of their alternatives) instead. See Win32::GUI::Reference::Options. Perl is environmentally friendly - it saves trees	[reply] [d/l]

You could try `-addstyle` instead, but also see this thread (for the subtle differences).	[reply] [d/l]

There's a tutorial that you might find helpful on the Win32::GUI page at CPAN.	[reply]
