Re: Error read-only Heavy.pm line 45

Hi Ricardo,

    I'm no expert either but both the perl version and perl/Tk are a bit 
out of date.
perl itself is at 5.8.8+ I believe and Tk is 804.027 (with a update in 
the works...)

    Now, upgrading to these may or may not be an option, depending on the OS
you are using.  According to the ad-hockey website, it appears to be 
updated to
run against 800.015.  There is even a FAQ item that says "... if perl 
crashes when you
try to build perl/Tk400.200 try to use the newer version of ad-hockey."

    Probably not what you want to hear but...  Chances are no one is 
working on
perl or perl/Tk versions that are several years old.  The ad-hockey 
website was last
modified on Nov 5th 2000...

    I tried running it against ActiveState perl 5.8.8 build 819 with Tk 
804.027 on Windoze.
There were a number of errors where they specified the borderwidth 
option without the
leading dash.  i.e.

my $frame = $MW->Frame( borderwidth => 2 );

which perl/Tk did not like.  Simply adding the '-' (dash) character in 
front fixed
the problem and allowed it to run.  There were about a dozen of these 
replacements
needed...  I didn't do any extensive testing so YMMV

     This is probably not what you wanted to hear but... I haven't built 
those particular
versions of perl/Tk in a while.  It might help the list to know what OS 
this is on if
upgrading isn't an option.  (and be as specific as you can with the 
distro and version
if applicable...)

    Good luck with it.
