Re^2: Spleenwort Fern Fractal viewer in Tk

Works nice and fast. I get an error

Deep recursion on subroutine "main::create_dot" at ./tk-fern-fractal line 119.

when I create any sample. I don't know if it's serious, just mentioning it. I don't mind seeing warnings myself.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh

Opps. I accidentally posted the version with warnings enabled. Thanks for pointing it out, and motivating me to actually check that it is not an issue (Whew). :-) Here is an excerpt from perldiag that explains the warning, and why it is surfaced. Deep recursion on subroutine ``%s'' (W recursion) This subroutine has called itself (directly or indirectly) 100 times more than it has returned. This probably indicates an infinite recursion, unless you're writing strange benchmark programs, in which case it indicates something else. [download]	[reply] [d/l]
