The biggest problems I've had have been with new releases of Perl/Tk breaking old code. For instance, here's a patch I had to make because Tk804.025 broke my app:
2915c2924,2926
< sub{$self->clicked_on_assignment($self->{ASS_KEYS}->[$ass_
+lb->curselection()])}
---
> # sub{$self->clicked_on_assignment($self->{ASS_KEYS}->[$as
+s_lb->curselection()])}
> # ... used to work, but no longer does
> sub{$self->clicked_on_assignment($self->{ASS_KEYS}->[$name
+_to_key{$ass_lb->get($ass_lb->curselection())}])}
Of course, it's always possible that I was depending on behavior that was actually not supposed to be documented and reliable behavior. I'd have to go back and look at the docs I was using (the O'Reilly Mastering Perl/Tk book) and see.

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).
