Dear monks,

For the sole purpose of testing some of the code I'm writing, I wrote a simple GUI interface using the Win32::GUI package (v. 0.0.558). It worked beautifully with Perl 5.6 but ever since I migrated to Perl 5.8, I ran into several problems :

• To start with, it seems as if Win32::GUI didn't support long widget names.
• Secondly, it seems as if the Rich Edit component and the timer component were not implemented - which would account for the fact that I can create a button widget but not a rich edit...

Has anyone had similar problems before ? Is there something I should be aware of in Perl 5.8 that I would've shamelessly overlooked ?

Comments welcome, thanks for helping me out !
