[perl-win32-gui-users] Request for help tracking down bug

[Robert M. <rob...@us...>]

All,

We've had a recent thread discussing a delay in launching an external
program after creating a Win32::GUI window.   After some investigation
I think this is a problem in perl, and not something we can do
anything about in Win32::GUI.

In order to help me track this down, I'd like to get some information
from as wide a set of perl versions and operating systems as possible,
 but I only have Win98 available to me right now.  I'd appreciate it
if as many people as possible could run the attached script, and reply
to this message with the output.

On this machine I see:
Perl Version: 5.008008
Build number: 819
OS name     : Win98(2nd ed)  A
Elapsed time: 1

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards,
Rob.

here you go Rob. Two different scenario. First when I
have firefox open(1 sec), second when I have it closed
(8 sec) (It does not find the file. i checked and it
gets unlinked before firefox can display it.)

Thanks to everyone for the very quick response.  I was expecting
Activestate builds 819 and 820 to hang for 30 secs or more on Win2K
and WinXP.  Seems I was wrong.

Back to the drawing board.  I may ask for help running some tests again soon.

Thanks,
Rob.
