Confirmed bug.

The problem is reproduced when you use the in-dialog "Close" button to dismiss the dialog. Clicking your window manager's "X" button doesn't reproduce the problem.

The root cause is that the "Close" button calls destroy() on the dialog, and the underlying DialogBox doesn't like this, because it calls WaitVariable and waits forever. Instead, I set the "selected_button" attribute of the DialogBox, which causes the DialogBox to close itself gracefully.

See: 8fa6e213.

I've uploaded Tk::TOTD 0.3 to CPAN that fixes this issue.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
