2.3.0, with XML::Xerces v2.3.0-4, perl 5.6.1.

I've done some playing, and with the following changes, it seems to work:

Line 449:
- use XML::Xerces qw( error )
+ use XML::Xerces

Line 486:
- error ($@, __PACKAGE__ . ": Couldn't parse catalog: $CATALOG")
+ XML::Xerces::error ($@, __PACKAGE__ . ": Couldn't parse catalog: 
$CATALOG")


I'm not actually using XML::Xerces::XMLCatalogResolver, which is the 
package I have modified, so I can't be sure that this will still work, 
but for my needs this at least gets past the compilation stage.

Still, why it would compile normally, or with the default debugger, and 
not the TK debugger is way beyond me!  Like I said before, I *imagine* 
it's the fault of ptkdb, but I don't have the courage to tackle that.

Meanwhile, perhaps this will help others in the same position.

Thanks for the help,

Bob.
