Hi all,
I find that the latest Tk::TableMatrix (v1.23 installed with PPM) fails to run 
on Windows (latest ActiveState) with even the most minimal case, e.g. : -

#!perl -w
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::TableMatrix;
my $mw = new MainWindow();
my $tab = $mw->TableMatrix()->pack;
MainLoop();
------------------
...results in...

>perl -w eg-tablematrix-minimal.pl
Had to create Tk::XlibVtab unexpectedly at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253.
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm 
line 253.
2ea86d4 is not a hash at C:/Perl/lib/Tk/Widget.pm line 190.

abnormal program termination
>Exit code: 3

This sucks enormously since I just spent a day changing a mega widget to use 
TableMatrix for my grid of embedded widgets instead of HList (which leaks 
memory like there's no tomorrow) or ROText (which is hard to manage and also 
leaks memory). TableMatrix 1.23 seems to work fine on Linux (cpan installed).

Regards,
Michael Erskine.
