======================================
OS = Windows XPHE [ver 5.1.2600]
======================================
Mingw with gcc 3.4.5 (date is 2006-01-18)
======================================
dmake 4.8-20070327-SHAY (Windows / MS Visual C++)
======================================
After standard perl installation (sources "stable.tar.gz" version 5.8.8 
date 06-02-01 unpacked using the 7z software): dmake dmake test dmake 
install.
During the installation I installed additional software it wanted (gpg, 
gzip, tar ... and so on a lot of questions!)
Then I modified the files Config.pm and Config_heavy.pl properly.

The module Win32::GUI I installed using standard cpan command: "cpan 
install Win32::GUI". I noticed the problem with the
attribute. I pointed installation directory as "c:\perl\.cpan" and in 
the subdirectory of the packet
I have changed the attribute (being in cpan shell in another cmd shell), 
returned to cpan shell and push the cpan command again.
that's it.
I have to admit I wanted to install perl (and libraries including 
DBD::Pg instead DBD::PgPP and my own too) from source last 6 months 
trying various
perl/mingw/dmake/nmake/make software. At last I did it!

I've just compiled Wn32::GUI again downloading it from cpan again. No 
atribute problem. Was the packet exchanged? No compilation problems!
Some tests (after "dmake test") have not passed but no errors.
