I have a Perl/Tk program that I wrote several years ago. This programs displays correctly with Perl/Tk 804.027 on Cygwin version 1.5.24 and on various Linux systems running comparable versions of Perl. When I try this program in Cygwin version 1.5.25 and Perl/Tk 804.028 I can only display it from the Cygwin startx utility and then it does not display the menubar. When I try the short cut to open a file (a menubar function) I see displayed in the startx xterm Tk::Error: messages that relate to the fbox. (Sorry, it won't let me cut and past the exact message.) Has anyone seen this type of behavior before and what is the fix?
