TK mainloop only updating event textvariable once

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

I've updated from perl 5.9.1 and Tk-804.027 to perl 5.14.2 and Tk-804.030. My earlier perl/tk application was built on xp as 32bit. Now using Windows 7 and rebuild of perl and Tk using Visual Studio VC 10.0 (amd64 vcvarsall.bat) the textvariable of an event widget only updates once. All my perl/Tk code remains unchanged. I have verified the underlying $hash{element} aka textvariable is being updated at 1Hz via printf. How do I fix this? Is there something new I'm unaware of? Thanks Jim

How do I fix this? Start by writing a minimal program that demonstrates the problem, How do I post a question effectively? Is there something new I'm unaware of? Did you read the changes file? The bug cue?	[reply]

Additional from Jim. The original perl/tk application built on xp 32bit still functions correctly in the Windows 7 64bit environment.	[reply]
