in thread Perl/TK application and DLL hell on Win32

You are right. I finally found the (only?) relevent passage of the docs (though it is not clear if this applicable to 95/98/ME?

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
