1. In the yourButton_Click() event handler, do you return -1? Return 1 instead.

2. When you start your program, what command do you use? If you use exec(), 
it won't return.

3. As previously mentioned, putting a few print statements in your code 
isn't all that bad if you want to see the program flow.


BTW, if you really want a floating toolbar, check out the 
Win32::GUI::ToolbarWindow module in the Oasis source. It will create such a 
window for you (small titlebar and non-visible in the task bar. You can 
also apply -topmost on it).
