Subject: PAR on MacOS X gives bus error with Tk
The following testcase, when compiled with "pp -v tk tk.pl", gives a bus error when the binary is run on MacOS X 10.3. Going back in time, PAR 0.80 was the last version that would make the testcase run on OS X, so something broke between then and 0.81 that remains broken now. #!/usr/bin/perl use Tk; my $mw = MainWindow->new(-title=>'Test Window'); MainLoop; This bug prevents PAR from building working binaries on the Mac if they use the Perl/Tk toolkit.

I am also seeing this bug. I am the maintainer of the Fink port of PAR and a contributor to the port of Tk (see fink.sf.net). This crash occurs with PAR 0.87 and Tk 804.026 on Mac OS X 10.3.9. I have a report that the bug does NOT exist under Mac OS X 10.4, so I suspect it is potentially a 5.8.1 problem, since 10.4 uses on Perl 5.8.6. I'm happy to assist with testing of any potential solutions to this problem. Chris

problem. Is this problem still current or should I close the ticket? Steffen
