Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] possible problem with GetOpenFilename

[Sean H. <jal...@ho...>]

I had this problem before - I found a possible solution in the old archives 
(at http-tech), but it involved recompiling  (if I recall correctly, the 
variable filterlen was not given a default value of 0, so when you specify a 
filter, the program tries to increment something that hasn't been set yet).  
Since I can't recompile, I shelved the program I was working on until a 
fixed version came out.  I was using the last version, but I guess it's not 
working with 0.0502 yet, either.
