Hello Monkz !

Now I have (to me at least) a very strange problem ...

Let's say i do this :

use strict ; 
use warnings ;
use Win32  ; 
$SIG{ __DIE__ } = sub { Win32::MsgBox ("Error :  @_" ,  0, $0 )  } ; 
die "ARRG" ;
[download]

When i run this from the command line i get a single warning pop up .

Now if use PAR with :

pp -gui tt.pl -o tt.exe

Then the exe will yield the pop up windows but i will have to click 4 times "OK" to get rid of it !

I'm under XP SP2 ActiveState 5.8. Why, oh, why ??

Update : I thought i should elaborate on why i do this : running an exe with the -gui option is much nicer to the user since it will not launch a "useless" background cmd window. but on the other end it will hide all the error message into nowheresville, unless of course i redirect stderr to a file, but still : it seems better if the error is shown immediatly, hence the MsgBox . Along with this I present the result by calling notepad on a temporary file. This allows me to have a simple "only graphical" interface without using Tk .

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
