in reply to Win64 versions of automation modules?

  1. You can still run 32-bit Perls under your 64-bit OS.
  2. AS Perl 64-bit comes with both the modules you've mentioned precompiled and working.

    Win32::OLE is there, but I don't see Win32::GuiTest. Are you sure you didn't build it yourself ? (Wouldn't build for me, however.)

      It looks like you're right as usual, though I didn't have the module cached in my packages directory, so I'm not sure when I must have built it.

      I do however have a fix for you. Comment out lines 27-29 of GUITest.cpp: 

      //#ifndef SIZE_T
//#    define SIZE_T DWORD
//#endif

      I do get one test failure: 

      t/05_which.t ......... 1/?
#   Failed test 'progman'
#   at t/05_which.t line 21.
#                   ''
#     doesn't match '(?i-xsm:progman)'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 7.

      which seems to be trying to test an application that is not distributed any more.

      I also originally had a couple of other test failures, but a) ensuring calc.exe wasn't already running before starting the nmake test fixed some of them; b) turning off the View->"Digit grouping" checkbox fixed the rest.

        Yep - that fixes it. (Odd ... I thought I'd tried that ...)

        I also get the same test failure.
