First off, thank you very much for Win32::GuiTest. It has been very useful to me in many situations. While running my routine cpan-outdated | cpanm on a Windows 10 laptop with a perl 5.23.6 built with MS VS2013 tools, I noticed that Win32::GuiTest 1.62 failed to build with the following error: Show quoted text

> GuiTest.xs(1600) : error C3861: 'strncasecmp': identifier not found

I believe the correct function for this platform is _strnicmp (see <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/chd90w8e.aspx>). This probably would not work in Cygwin and/or MinGW environments, so a conditional define might work best: #ifdef _MSC_VER #define strncasecmp _strnicmp #endif HTH, -- Sinan
