I guess you are using the Windows Script Host and a .wsf file to run this 
(or something similar).

I just had to try this thing, and got the following to work (install the 
Windows Script Host and put this in test.wsf):


<Job Id="First Win32::GUI attempt">
<script language=PerlScript>

use Win32::GUI;

my $winMain = new Win32::GUI::Window(
         "-left"   => 13,
         "-top"    => 32,
         "-width"  => 439,
         "-height" => 260,
         "-name"   => "winMain",
         "-text"   => "Autoscroller"
         );

$winMain->Show();

Win32::GUI::Dialog();

</script>
</job>


Your example contains broken Win32::GUI code (no -name option etc), and the 
Scripting Host engine didn't grok that -optionnamn is valid Perl. And the 
program crashed when I didn't have the Dialog() call present for some 
reason...  * shrug *

Anyway... see if you can get my code to run when you get the system to 
understand that you have Win32::GUI installed.

Should really be:

C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI

so if that wasn't a typo... What version of Perl and Win32::GUI do you have 
installed?

Have you been able to run regular Win32::GUI Perl programs, i.e.

   perl myguiprogram.pl

at all? Start there and wait with the PerlScript stuff until you are sure 
the basics work.


Hope That Helps,
