I ran into a (similar sounding) problem a while back. The problem was
that Perl garbage collection was making the variable go out of scope.
Once the variable destroyed, no more window. So while I don't know if
this is your problem it possibly could be.

I relied on a global list to push the window variable on to prevent
garbage collection:

    my $newWindow = main::ModuleView();
    $newWindow->show();
    push @main::windowsList, $newWindow;

Even using a circular reference works (for now, anyway), just save the
window variable as one of the module variables. This ought to work until
the garbage collection gets smarter.
