812	Win32::GUI programs require 'external window' option	Floyd-ATC	azawawi	"The following tutorial script shows a simple window:

{{{
use Win32::GUI();  # Version 1.06 from CPAN
my $main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
  -name   => 'Main',
  -width  => 800, 
  -height => 600,
  -title  => $0
);
$main->Show;
Win32::GUI->Dialog();   # Enter message loop
exit;
sub Main_Terminate { -1; }  # Terminate message loop
}}}

When run from the command-line, it works as expected. When run from inside Padre using F5 or the debugger, the script runs but the window does not show.

The problem goes away if I enable ""Use external window"" under Edit | Preferences | Run parameters
