Hi Monks,

I am getting a Tk::FBox error which seems to be specific to fedora (can't replicate on windows at least) and the '-multiple' flag - setting it to 0 causes no error.

Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();

my @files = $mw->getOpenFile(-multiple => 1,);

print "File was '$_'\n" for @files;

And the error stack :

---> Desktop $ perl perl/tktest.pl ***-multiple => 0***
File was '/home/clayi/Desktop/fedora-eclipse.desktop'
---> Desktop $ perl perl/tktest.pl***-multiple => 1***

I have submitted a bugzilla, but haven't heard anything for a month, has anyone else seen anything similar? Has anyone got a workaround/alternate module? I don't care what, I just need to be able to select multiple files.

Thanks in advance.

Just a something something...
