in reply to Trouble Installing Win32::GuiTest

From the log it looks like your are running a Perl 64bit, but what version? Have you tried a 32bit install? According to ActiveState this module is not compatible with their Perl versions 5.14 and up.

I have 32-bit Strawberry 5.12.3 on my Win Server 2008 and Win32::Gui installed with out issue...

    Do you have some details on that ?

    I don't know of any good reason that it should build on 5.12 64-bit, but not on 5.14 64-bit. (Not to say there isn't one, but :-)

      How can I report this bug to CPAN author?

      I don't, but I could not find the build reports for Win32::GuiTest and I noticed that he was using the ActiveState PPM repository so I made the assumption that he was looking to them for the distro...

      UPDATE

      Based on a link from another node I found the testing matrix for Win32::GuiTest. Here it is http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Win32-GuiTest%201.60
