I got a call from a user just now, and whilst I can replicate his problem, I am not sure how to go about solving it!

The application was written about 12 months ago, using AS/Perl on XP, but probably about 5.8.0 or 5.8.1 or so. The Application launches, but when we go to create a window using Tk::DBI::Table the system just hangs! The module is present, but I have yet to write some test code to see what is going on.

However I am a little perplexed because using -W on the command line produces no output in relation to this at all! The query runs correctly on the mysql command line.

Any clues anyone?
