in thread Perl Tk crashes when mem usage exceeds 4G on Win10

G'day Ken

I just got back from a very nice 2 week visit to Melbourne, Australia. Not sure if you are Aussie or Kiwi? (Unfortunately, all I got to see of NZ was the inside of Auckland Airport)

I've never raised an official bug report... (I did add an issue in the Spreadsheet Module Git Repo once, but that seemed to go nowhere)

Are you be talking about submitting this to Perl.org, Strawberry Perl, or going directly to TK?

Thanks for your help,

Bill

    See the Location: in my home node. :-)

    "Are you be talking about submitting this to Perl.org, Strawberry Perl, or going directly to TK?"

    In the first instance, I'd raise this as a Tk bug. In "Active bugs for Tk", and similarly for other distributions, you find menus: "About rt.cpan.org" -> "How do I ...?" — which leads to "How to use rt.cpan.org" where you'll find information about bug reporting (amongst other things).

      "See the Location: in my home node. :-)" Nice!

      I will report this by emailing bug-Tk@rt.cpan.org

      No... that sounds terrifying, but thanks for the tip

      For one thing, I'm using many TK modules with XS implementations which are not supported by this module
