Well this clearly depends on which people you are talking about... Most of (known) Tk::Zinc users are using linux distribution with packages (either debian or mandrake) and most of them are using stable release (e.g. mandrake 9.2 or debian woody).

As they developped much software with Tk::Zinc it is not so easy for them to switch to a new release of Perl or Perl/Tk specially if these new version are not packaged.

This explains why we have been quite conservative.

According to Patrick, upgrading Tk::Zinc to Perl/Tk 804 can be hardly done without breaking compatibility with Perl/Tk 800. So there is clearly a dilemna for Patrick and current users...

Any suggestions of any wise brother ?

NB: we should modify the readme to document this. We should also modify Makefile.PL dependencies to make it explicit.
