[perl-win32-gui-users] Perl Compiler Recommendation Needed for Win32-GUI/ActivePerl

[Eric H. <eh...@co...>]

Can some folks recommend to me a PERL compiler vendor/version that they
are
Getting to work fine on Windows XP and backward compatible
With Windows 2000 professional/98SE?=20

Please supply binary build version of Win32-GUI and
ActiveState/ActivePerl tested with this compiler.

I am seeing problems with my PERL apps compiled with an older version of
IndigoStar PERL compiler 5.03.  I am using Win32-GUI 1.02 and ActivePerl
5.6.1 multi-thread on Windows XP. =20

Win32 Message Boxes are showing up blank?
IndigoStar does not know what is wrong and recommends I purchase a newer
compiler.=20
