kcott has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Tk::ROSyntaxText was recently added to the Tk:: namespace (http://search.cpan.org/~kcott/Tk-ROSyntaxText-1.001/lib/Tk/ROSyntaxText.pm).

Some problems have been encountered in the OpenBSD domain (http://www.cpantesters.org/author/K/KCOTT.html).

Information regarding issues with Tk::*, Tk:: Text or related modules (in the OpenBSD space) would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Ken.

Update Info: This was my first post and I wasn't familiar with the formatting rules when I wrote it. I have reformatted the text but the content is unchanged: just added paragraphs and made the URLs actual links.

    You don't tell us whether you have contacted the tester whose machine produces the failures. The "Find A Tester" link on CPAN Testers produces using the failure report GUID 5371e3e4-bbe9-11df-95b7-ae20f63270d3 produces this result. I would try to either contact the email address or venture a guess and try to /msg the user salva here.

      He has already contacted me, but I didn't have the time to look into that problem yet :-(

        There's no panic on this - thanks again for what you've done so far. I looked into becoming a CPAN tester myself and decided I didn't have enough free time to do the job justice: I appreciate your contribution.

        Since our last communication, there's been another OpenBSD test which successfully skipped the visual/GUI parts. This has Xlib messages which may be of some use (although, frankly, I doubt it).

      Thanks for taking the time to post this useful information.
