Re^4: How a baisc debugging effort restored my sanity!

Right, so most smoke reports should skip it. But I know some cpansmokers use fake $DISPLAY's to have modules pass/fail. e.g. see my Tk::Clock based on Tk. (Feel free to steal from Makefile.PL).

Anyway, I tried to install all modules you mentioned. They all failed because of missing prereq's that are not mentioned in the docs. After I installed the missing tk packages (on OpenSUSE 11.3), I still got:

But I'm not interested enough to dig any deeper.

given that you have your own modules in perl/Tk, I am not surprised that you do not have interest in digging deeper and that is perfectly o-kay, you have your code that relies on something, and moving is not easy. For me, moving to Tcl::Tk was just a necessary step, because at that time perl/Tk haven't supported Unicode. Today, perl/Tk do have Unicode, *but it will be several steps behind - by design*. I do not know anything about pTk, I know Tcl::Tk and Tcl CPAN modules. Of course your problem could easily be resolved, but given that you do not want it - let it be as it is :)	[reply]

But it sounds like you are interested enough. If I can help (you) to improve on these modules, maybe by testing or adding RT tickets to the module queues, I'm all ears. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

my interest is - with larger user base it would be better for me. I have code based on Tcl::Tk that I could share, and vice-versa - I could use someone else's code. you're right, I must start with providing easier setup, RT tickets, better CPAN reports, etc. I'll see what can I do in this area.
