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

Hello Monks, I am new in perl. I tried running a simple program using win32 GUI but it failed to run in Active Perl 5.16.3. It is perfectly working with Active perl 5.14.4. Is there any compatibility issue with latest Active perl version. I am running it in windows 7. Thanks in advance.

    How does it fail?

    Also, are you trying to mix 64bit programs and 32bit programs? As far as I understand, you cannot easily cross the messaging barrier between the two.

      While trying with Active Perl 5.16.3 a window with message Perl command line interpreter has stopped working comes up.

        If you add  warn "got here"; after all the use statement, but before your program runs, does it get printed?
        Do any one have some idea how to solve this issue...Thanks
