[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-Win32-GUI-1.06-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-Win32-GUI-1.06-1

[Reini Urban]

I've updated perl-Win32-GUI to the new upstream release,
for the current stable perl-5.8.8.

NEWS:
=====
This version is the same as it would have been installed via CPAN,
since all cygwin patches are included upstream. It just installs into
vendor_perl.

CHANGES:
========
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Win32-GUI/Win32-GUI-ReleaseNotes/RN_1_06.pod


DESCRIPTION:
============
Win32::GUI is a Perl extension allowing creation of native Win32 GUI
applications.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up the package name
from the 'Libs' category (it should already be selected).

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

win32-gui-demos.pl doesn't core dump anymore but the demos don't run
from the launcher script.

Running them directly from the commandline works.

By the way, is there any reason the cygwin specific README is empty.

Yes, the upstream launcher is still broken, and I didn't want to
fix that.
My hackish patch would have been:

diff -bu win32-gui-demos.pl~ ./win32-gui-demos.pl

Oops.
