[perl-win32-gui-users] Error in GUI.pm

[Tim H. <han...@gm...>]

I was running the "win32-gui-demos" after installing version 1.05 of
Win32-GUI.

While playing around with the AnimateWindow.pl program I noticed that if you
clicked on
the bottom left checkbox, and tried to hide/show the animated window, it
generated and error saying
that "bltr" was an unrecognized direction.

First I did a google search for some report of this error, and then I joined
this list, and searched the list for some report of the problem.

Since I didn't turn up anything, I started poking around in the GUI.pm code
and discovered that there was
a type there (or at least it appears to me to be a typo).

On line 441 the regex that is used to recognize directions has 'blrt'
instead of 'bltr'.
(also the comment line on 404 has the same thing)

>From look of the way the rest of the directions were listed, it seemd to me
that it OUGHT to read 'bltr' which is what the AnimateWindow.pl program
uses.

When I changed the regex to bltr, then the AnimateWindow.pl worked correctly
(and animated correctly).

I'm not sure WHO needs to know about this error/fix, but I figured this list
was a good place to start.
