Hi Monks-

I believe I'm seeing an issue with ActiveState Perl 5.20 (for MacOSX) that causes "perl -c" to crash. The same script seems to work fine with an older ActiveState Perl (5.14) I have from a while ago.

Is this a Perl thing, or Tk thing, or POE thing (or combination)?

Can others verify they see the same thing?

I don't know how to debug this from here.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Simple Perl Script (mactst.pl)

use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

use POE;

if(! defined($poe_main_window)) { warn "\$poe_main_window not defined"
+ };

Working Command
