Re: Segmentation fault at exit on Solaris 5.6.1 if require Tk instead of use

The use statement is equivalent to

BEGIN {
  require Tk;
  Tk->import;
}

I'm not sure why this would make Tk break, but I imagine it might have something to do with compile-time magic (where segfaults have a greater potential to occur).

Yes, I thought that `use` was supposed to be the same as `require` and `import`, as frequently mentioned. (Yes, I did se use Super Search) Ah. Progress. If I put the require inside a BEGIN block, it does work "properly". In that it's the same on both boxes, and importantly, doesn't seg fault on the Solaris machine. -- Tommy Too stupid to live.
