[perl-win32-gui-users] Problem with Labels not appearing

[Blomquist, Ron-P. <Ron...@gd...>]

I am having a problem where the Labels and Button labels are not
appearing on one system, but are appearing on another system.  Both
systems are Windows XP SP2, running cygwin/perl 5.8.8.  My sample code
is below:

---------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w  
# Perl script to show Problem with Labels

use Win32::GUI();

# Build the UI
$main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
			-name 	=> 'Main', 
			-text 	=> 'Disappearing Labels',
			-top	=> 100,
			-left	=> 100,
			-width 	=> 450, 
			-height => 150);

$widgetX = 100;
$widgetY = 20;
$height = 22;

$directory = `pwd`;
chop $directory;

$directoryField = $main->AddTextfield(
			-name   => "DirectoryField",
			-text   => "$directory",
			-left   => $widgetX,
			-top    => $widgetY,
			-width  => 250,
			-height => $height,
			-prompt => ["Base Directory", -78],
	);
$main->AddButton(
			-name   => "BrowseButton",
			-text => "Browse ...",
			-left =>
$directoryField->Left()+$directoryField->ScaleWidth()+10,
			-top  => $widgetY,
	);
	
$widgetY += 20+$height;
$exitButton = $main->AddButton(
			-name   => "ExitButton",
			-text => "Exit",
			-ok   => "1",
			-left => $widgetX,
			-top  => $widgetY,
	);

# Center Exit Button
$exitButton->Left(($main->Width()-$exitButton->ScaleWidth())/2);

$main->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();

sub Main_Terminate {
	-1;
}

sub ExitButton_Click {
	exit 0;
}

Looking in the archives, I found the article "Re: [perl-win32-gui-users]
Info From ActiveState on a problem"
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=BLU140-W366544E
50685B49801CAA182D00%40phx.gbl&forum_name=perl-win32-gui-users, which
appears to have similar symptoms to this problem, put I am not using
perlapp.  When I copied the sample manifest file into
"perl.exe.manifest", I was able to see the button text.  However, I
still cannot see the labels.  
Any help/suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks!
