RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Most-Recently-Used files

[Peter E. <Pet...@at...>]

Took a peek at podview.pl. Instead of a datafile it uses the registry. It
also uses a hash instead of an array, so duplicates don't exist (if you open
the same file multiple times). 

Good call, this is a better way to handle it, assuming the person using it
is careful with the registry.

Look in podview.pl, in the samples directory that comes with the zip 
file, for code that implements such a menu.  (Although I've never 
used this code, I noticed the feature when I was looking through the 
samples.)  If you got Win32::GUI by PPM from ActiveState, you 
probably don't have this directory.  I highly recommend getting the 
zip file just for this directory, even if you are not going to build 
Win32::GUI yourself.
