Ng,



I tried your fix and I managed to get it to pass just as you did. In case
anyone was wondering, I used PowerZip to create a tar.gz in windows.

The problem is I upgraded to the new Win32 GUI 1.04 and now Loft programs
have stopped working. To make Win32::GUI backwards compatible because of
GUI's exporting constants I had to use Win32::GUI(); , instead of
Win32::GUI; . One problem arises when we have to call Win32::GUI::Loft;

It now complains about the () not being after Win32::GUI ( as though it
wanted me to use Win32::GUI()::Loft; which doesn't work ). It also complains
of missing GUI::Resizer.



Here is the msg I get when trying to run a previously working Loft created
program:



C:\perlstuff\SA>sa2.6.pl

'use Win32::GUI;' is currently exporting constants into the callers scope.
This functionality is deprecated. Use 'use Win32::GUI();' or list your
required exports explicitly instead. at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI/Loft/Design.pm line 31 Can't locate
Win32/GUI/Resizer.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Program Files\ActiveState
Perl Dev Kit 6.0\lib\ C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI/Loft/Design.pm line 32.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI/Loft/Design.pm line 32.

Compilation failed in require at C:\perlstuff\SA\SA2.6.pl line 8.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\perlstuff\SA\SA2.6.pl line 8.



Line 8 of my program is :



use Win32::GUI::Loft;



Has anyone else encountered this, or possibly know how to fix it?



Thanks!

Dave
