Re^2: Win32::GUI on 64bit Windows?

You can not install Win32 modules in x64 bit perl.

I beg to differ on that. It's been a while, but I seem to recall being able to install Win32 modules in 64-bit Perl before without any issues.

Ok, so maybe you don't want to take my word for it. Here's some links to release notes of 64-bit Strawberry Perl that includes various Win32 modules in the list of included modules.

If I remember correctly, ActiveState's releases of 64-bit version of their ActivePerl do not include Win32 modules. However, that does not mean that Win32 modules cannot be installed in 64-bit Perl.

Hi dasgar Thanks for the information. I use only Active Perl in Windows. I was thinking Win32 modules are not supported in x64 perl. Thanks & Regards, Bakkiaraj M My Perl Gtk2 technology demo project - http://code.google.com/p/saaral-soft-search-spider/ , contributions are welcome.	[reply] [d/l]

You'll need to build Win32::GUI yourself for a 64 bit machine. But it's simple enough if you are using the late version of Activestate's perl. `ppm install mingw` Will install the 64 bit compiler suite, then download the latest sourcecode for Win32::GUI, NOT from cpan, but from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-win32-gui/ It contains the various patches needed for 64 bit. Follow the instructions on building (it's simple enough) Enjoy:)	[reply] [d/l]

64 bit ActivePerl comes with alot of Win32::* modules out of the box.
