That's not how I read part One of the Win32::GUI tutorial:
http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/docs.cgi?doc=tutorial-part1

Without seeing more of what you mean, then it's difficult to answer 
precisely, but, generally, you want to call Win32::GUI::Dialog() once 
(per thread of execution).

What there is can be found here:
http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/docs.cgi?doc=reference-methods#dialog

You may also want to look at the source, and read about the related 
Win32 functions on MSDN.

Again, you question is not really explicit enough, but I think 
Win32::GUI::DoEvents() may be what you're looking for?
