found in subject


Ok, I'm not an expert. I've got, umm, 2 weeks into Perl and many
questions. But I have used Win32::GUI. It's a great product brought to
us my many good and accomplished people (a TRUTH that I believe). But,
how do I find out how to use it? I've read, looked at, downloaded all
the documentation from www.dada.it, www.cpan.org, www.perl.org,
www.perl.com, and, well, I guess others. The documentation is not
complete! So I've looked at my MSVC++ 6.0 MSDN (never do that again) and
will be looking at the Visual Studio tools to see what is done and how
to do it and will probably try to use one of the Perl GUI creation
editors. I've also looked at GUI.pm but, in truth, my Perl isn't that
strong and it seems that after all is said and done, the list (@_) of
input values is passed to a binary - where I can't look.

Let's take an example. I wanted a ListBox with a scroll bar and a
title/caption/name, or whatever. I used attributes I discovered from
GUI.pm for the scroll bar (-autovscroll and -vscroll) and I used
attributes which really did work for a window (-caption, -title, -name)
for a title, and none of it worked. But there was an example with a
deprecated feature (-style =3D>), and it did work. So now I'm successful
using a deprecated feature but have no place to turn when the feature
turns off.

So, sigh, where do I get documentation and/or how do I help? Am I
missing something (two weeks is really not a long time to learn language
and GUI)?
