Change=20
  my $void =3D $win->DoEvents();

to :
Win32::GUI::DoEvents();
=20
This is a class method, not an instance method.  Also, this is just a =
straight method call, no arguments or assignment back to a variable is =
needed.  I can ONLY assume that the problem is that the DoEvents method =
is looking for a class method being passed in, and since it gets an =
object, it does not assign whatever variable it needs inside the sub.... =
 Or maybe not.  I dont know.  Anyway, use the second form and not the =
first.  8>)

Using Win32::GUI and I'm having a problem with the program reporting to =
windows that it is not responding. I know that it is because of the loop =
I have the program in but I still want the user to work while I'm =
processing in the background. I found a reference to $win->DoEvents() =
but as far as I can see that works but it errors out with "Use of =
uninitialized value in subroutine entry at hotfix.pl line 172" Gah =3D( =
I'm starting to hate this... I've looked at the archives but no search =
sucks =3D) Anyone have any ideas?
